The Department of Fire Services intends to evaluate bid responses from and award a contract to participating SBPP businesses that submit a bid that meets or exceeds the solicitation criteria. If it is determined that there is an inadequate pool of responses from SBPP-participating vendors, or no SBPP-participating vendors provide a responsive bid, the Department of Fire Services will evaluate, and award bid responses received from non-SBPP businesses. To determine eligibility and to participate in the SBPP, please review the requirements and general program information at www.mass.gov/sbpp.

For purchases of $10,000 and above, Buyers are required to solicit quotations from eligible vendors and obtain a minimum of three (3) responses. This ensures a competitive bidding process and helps the Buyer find the best possible value for their purchase. A “no bid” response is considered an acceptable response.
