The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is seeking a vendor(s) to provide supplies, maintenance, and repair services for two HAPSITE gas chromatographs/mass spectrometers. These instruments are used by MassDEP to investigate locations and sites contaminated by oil or hazardous materials, fulfilling the department's statutory mandate. The required deliverables include internal standard cylinders, preventative maintenance, diagnostics, and common repair parts for the HAPSITE instruments. The contract term is 4 years, with a bid release date of April 5, 2022, a submission deadline of April 28, 2022, and an estimated contract start date of May 12, 2022. The RFR has an estimated procurement value of $48,000 and is subject to the Massachusetts Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP), which gives preference to small businesses headquartered in the Commonwealth. Bidders must include specific pricing information and complete required forms such as the Commonwealth Terms & Conditions, Contractor Authorized Signatory Listing, and Prompt Payment Discount Form.

The procurement is open to any qualified vendor, but the Commonwealth gives preference to small businesses headquartered in Massachusetts under the SBPP program. No incumbent vendors are identified, and the RFR does not provide details on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The Commonwealth considers environmentally preferable products and practices in the evaluation of bids, and bidders can receive additional points for substantiating their environmental initiatives. The procurement value is estimated at $48,000, but the contract is structured as a rate contract with no maximum obligation.
