About this file
This file is bid language documentation for the Massachusetts Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP), established under Executive Order 523 to increase state contracting opportunities with Massachusetts-based small businesses. The document outlines the program framework applicable to the three-year elevator preventative maintenance contract for the John C. Corrigan Mental Health Center. The SBPP establishes an award preference whereby SBPP-participating businesses that meet the best value criteria will be selected for contract award; non-SBPP participants will only be evaluated if no SBPP bidder meets the evaluation standards. To qualify as an SBPP participant, entities must maintain their principal place of business in Massachusetts, have been operational for at least one year, employ 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees across all locations (or have employees working fewer than 26,000 combined hours per quarter), and demonstrate gross revenues of $15 million or less based on a three-year average. Non-profit organizations must additionally be registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, maintain current filings, and hold tax-exempt status under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c).
Bidders are responsible for ensuring current SBPP registration status at submission and throughout the contract term, with misrepresentation of SBPP eligibility resulting in disqualification, potential debarment, contract termination, and other remedial actions. The file does not specify pricing terms, incumbent contractors, funding amounts, response deadlines, or other substantive contract details; it serves solely to communicate SBPP eligibility requirements and compliance obligations for this procurement. Additional program resources and guidance are available through the SBPP webpage at mass.gov/sbpp or through the SBPP Help Desk at sbpp@mass.gov.
