Mass turnpike toll services

The Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a Special Notice regarding Mass Turnpike toll services through a limited source documentation process. This notice relates to purchase request D-26-BO-0013 for toll services specifically intended for use by NEFD investigative staff during official government duties. The procurement is structured as a sole-source acquisition with a performance period running from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The notice was posted on September 16, 2025, with responses due by September 19, 2025. This represents a recurring requirement for transportation-related services supporting DEA investigative operations in Massachusetts.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to justify a single-source procurement for Massachusetts Turnpike toll services based on the unique nature of the requirement. The DEA has determined that only one vendor operates and collects tolls for the Mass Turnpike, making them the sole entity capable of regulating and administering the toll program in Massachusetts. No market research was conducted, and no alternative vendors were identified due to this monopolistic service structure. Contractors interested in this opportunity must respond by the September 19, 2025 deadline, though the procurement appears limited to the existing toll service operator. The contracting officer has certified that only one source is reasonably available and will only proceed with the order if pricing is determined fair and reasonable, with the estimated contract value not specified in the documentation.
