The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), is seeking proposals for an Internet-based Access and Opportunity Compliance System (AOCS) to replace and enhance its existing systems for project tracking, workforce reporting, and minority/women/veteran/disability/LGBTQ business participation compliance. The selected vendor will be responsible for developing, establishing, hosting, and maintaining the AOCS, which must provide 24/7 web-based access, consolidate and enhance contractor/designer reporting, and produce reports for legally-mandated agency reporting. The AOCS must be implemented within 90 days of contract award, with the vendor providing ongoing support, maintenance, and DCAMM-requested modifications. The Commonwealth will evaluate proposals based on the system's fit to requirements, the vendor's relevant experience, proposal quality, ease of administration, product functionality, timeline, and pricing, with pricing required to remain fixed for the first three years, with a maximum 3% annual increase thereafter.

The contract opportunity includes requirements for the selected vendor to meet the Commonwealth's standards for information technology systems and services, as well as all applicable Massachusetts laws, including non-discrimination, equal employment, and affirmative action provisions. The contract is focused on expanding access and opportunity for minority, women, veteran, and disabled-owned business enterprises, with DCAMM surpassing its program goals for construction and design payments to these firms in the previous fiscal year. The Commonwealth may waive the requirement to offer prompt payment discounts if participation would be unduly burdensome, and the contract value and budget range are not specified in the provided documentation.
