About this opportunity
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is seeking proposals from youth service organizations to manage the DCR Stewardship Corps Fall 2025 program in Middlesex County, specifically targeting the Lowell and Lawrence areas. The procurement aims to provide free, safe youth-based programs for at-risk teens and young adults aged 13-17, with a focus on urban youth development, community building, and promoting healthy lifestyles. Selected organizations will deliver after-school sessions from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm and weekend field trips, engaging 10-15 youths per organization. Key program objectives include exposing participants to conservation and recreation career opportunities and potentially offering Boys and Girls Club memberships. The solicitation requires electronic submission through the COMMBUYS system by Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 5:00 pm, with an estimated award date of Friday, August 22, 2025, and a contract start date of Thursday, September 18, 2025. Vendors must be able to provide detailed billing documentation, including hourly labor rates, hours worked, and copies of receipts.
The procurement appears open to youth service organizations without specific set-aside designations, though vendors must have the capability to manage youth programs and meet the outlined program requirements. The total estimated procurement value is $30,000.00, with $15,000.00 allocated per vendor, which suggests two organizations will be selected. Additional program benefits include the potential for a paid mentor position for a previous program participant. Vendors must have the technical capability to submit responses through the COMMBUYS system and comply with Massachusetts state contract requirements, including completing all necessary forms such as the standard contract template. Support for potential bidders is available through the COMMBUYS Help Desk at 617.720.3197. The procurement emphasizes youth development, community engagement, and providing meaningful experiences for at-risk teenagers in the Lowell and Lawrence areas.
