Supplier Diversity Requirements

When selecting vendor(s) without soliciting quotes or a statement of work, Executive Departments should follow below guidance:

When selecting contractors and placing orders, Executive departments shall utilize diverse and small businesses to the extent possible based on contract terms, SDO and departmental policies, laws, and regulations. Additionally, departments shall make a preference for contractors with higher SDP commitments and/or performance whenever such information is available (or is requested from contractors by the department) and the preference is feasible.

See the “Programs (SDO and SBPP)” tab for current certification and small business status of contractors on this contract.

When selecting vendor(s) from multiple quotes and statement of work, Executive Departments should follow below guidance:

SDP Commitment: Businesses awarded large Commonwealth contracts for goods and services (also called prime contractors or prime vendors) are required to make measurable financial commitments to do business with one or more diverse businesses (often called SDP Partners). This business-to-business relationship requirement applies to all Large Procurements for goods and services, which were historically defined as those expected to exceed $150,000 in total spending. Effective July 1, 2021, Large Procurements will be defined as those expected to exceed $250,000 in annual spending.

Executive departments should take into consideration contracted vendors SDP commitments when evaluating responses.

Specifically, the following fields of the new SDP Plan Form correspond to the goals stated above:

Appendix C: Truck Safety Standards Issued by RMV

Truck Safety Standards The RMV enacted new regulations (540 CMR 4.10 to 4.13) that apply to certain registered motor vehicles, trailers, semi-trailers and semi-trailer units classified as class 3 or above by the Federal Highway Administration, with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) rating of 10,001 pounds or more (“Heavy Vehicles”).

Heavy Vehicles that are (1) leased or purchased by the Commonwealth on or after January 1, 2023, or (2) operated under contracts with the Commonwealth executed on or after January 1, 2025, that require the use of Heavy Vehicles in writing or by necessary implication, must be equipped with the following truck safety devices:

• Lateral protective devices (LPD), commonly called “Side Guards,”

• Convex mirrors,

• Crossover mirrors, and

• Back-up cameras.

For snow and ice management and removal services and towing services, these regulations apply to Heavy Vehicles operated under contracts with the Commonwealth that were executed on or after July 1, 2025. Heavy Vehicles affected by the RMV regulations must be certified as compliant with these requirements beginning 12/31/2025 using the RMV portal. Please refer to MassDOT’s guidance here for information about updates on truck safety devices, the certification and waiver process, and guidance for contractors. Further guidance will soon be available on the OSD website.
