2020 Hunting and Fishing Guide - Rules and Regulations

The state of Massachusetts, through the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife), is procuring a contractor to produce and deliver the Massachusetts Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Guide (the "Guide") for the 2020 season. The selected contractor will be responsible for the layout, design, advertising, and delivery of up to 185,000 copies of the 60-page Guide by the first week of November 2019. The Guide will provide a magazine-like summary of the laws and regulations regarding hunting and fishing in Massachusetts, as well as general information for sportsmen and sportswomen. Responses to the Request for Response (RFR) must be submitted through COMMBUYS by June 28, 2019 at 4:00 PM EST. MassWildlife intends to award a one-year contract, with three one-year renewal options, with a maximum payment of $21,000 to the contractor.

This is a small procurement targeted to verified small businesses participating in the Commonwealth's Small Business Purchasing Program, with subcontracting limited to 20% of the total contract value unless to another verified small business. The contractor will be responsible for generating additional revenue through the placement of advertisements in the Guide in accordance with MassWildlife's advertising policy. There is no information provided about incumbent vendors or contractors, and the procurement documents do not specify a budget range for the contract.
