DCR 868 Mobile Soda Blasting Services

The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) in the state of Massachusetts is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide periodic, mobile soda blasting services statewide. The DCR requires vendors to perform graffiti, paint, and debris removal from DCR facilities using a soda-based media that is environmentally sensitive. The contract term is 3 years with an optional 2-year renewal, and the estimated procurement value is approximately $105,000 over the full 5-year term. Vendors must submit proposals electronically through the COMMBUYS procurement platform, with an initial deadline of February 11, 2022, and the option for additional vendors to submit proposals through June 30, 2027 under a "rolling enrollment" contract structure. The evaluation criteria include the bidder's ability to provide the specified services and equipment, pricing, level of service, prompt payment discounts, and environmentally preferable products and practices.

This is a small procurement targeted at businesses participating in the Commonwealth's Small Business Purchasing Program, with subcontracting limited to no more than 20% unless with another SBPP-registered participant. There are no details provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFR does not indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFR states the estimated procurement value but does not provide a specific award range or budget.
