16-DOC-1000-Photo ID Systems & Supplies

This state and local contracting opportunity is being issued by the Massachusetts Department of Correction (DOC) for the procurement of photo identification (ID) systems and supplies. The DOC is seeking responses for the purchase of printers, cameras, ID cards, and other supplies associated with photo ID systems that are not currently available on a statewide contract. The contract will utilize a "Market Basket" approach, allowing the addition and removal of products and services to an approved list. The DOC intends to award multiple contracts with an initial term of up to 1 year and two 3-year renewal options, for a total potential contract duration of 7 years. Quotes are due by November 20, 2015 at 3:00 PM EST. The DOC will evaluate bids based on criteria such as the proposed photo ID systems and supplies, pricing, bidder qualifications and experience, prompt payment discounts, and a required Supplier Diversity Program Plan with a minimum 10% weight.

The contract opportunity does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration is not provided. The DOC spent approximately $19,324 on photo ID supplies in fiscal year 2015, but makes no guarantees of future purchasing levels, and the contract has no specified maximum obligation amount.
