The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is soliciting bids for an "Open Enrollment" Contract to establish and maintain a large pool of pre-qualified Contractors and Vendors from which the Departments throughout the Commonwealth can select for Ambient Air Quality Instrumentation, Parts, Supplies, Maintenance Agreements and Repair services. The contract will cover a wide range of air monitoring equipment, including continuous analyzers, particulate matter samplers, meteorological sensors, calibration services, and other related products and services necessary to support the Commonwealth's Ambient Air Monitoring Network. The contract has an initial 10-year term with two 1-year renewal options, for a maximum of 12 years. Bids are due by December 29, 2020, with an estimated contract start date of January 29, 2021. Compensation will be based on cost tables or catalogs provided by the bidders and accepted by the Strategic Sourcing Team (SST). The estimated value of the contract is $3 million.

The contract has a mandatory Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) requirement, where bidders must commit a minimum of 10% of contract sales to certified minority, women, veteran, disability-owned, and LGBT businesses. Incumbent contractors from the previous EQE-LAW-2014 contract are eligible to bid on this re-opened RFR. The contract is an "Open Enrollment" design, allowing additional qualified vendors to be added over time with no specific end date. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information is provided other than the $3 million estimated contract value.
