The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) is seeking to establish a pre-qualified list of contractors to provide its Water Pollution Prevention (WPP) program with specialized water quality equipment, instrumentation, supplies, and services such as repair, maintenance, and calibration. This opportunity covers jurisdictions in Worcester County, including Worcester City. MassDEP intends to select multiple qualified contractors through this Request for Response (RFR) to be placed on the pre-qualified list for the acquisition of these products and services on an as-needed basis. The detailed scope includes water quality monitoring equipment, field gear, and related accessories and supplies. Bidders may submit qualifications for one or both service categories. Selection will be based on qualifications, experience, and ability to provide the required goods and services. The contract term is 5 years with an optional 2-year renewal, for a potential total of 7 years.

The RFR does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No information is provided on incumbent vendors or current contractors. The cumulative estimated value of purchases under this contract is $2.5 million, but pricing will be negotiated on a project-by-project basis to ensure best value for the Commonwealth. Bidders must complete a Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) Plan Form and commit a minimum of 1% of contract sales to certified diverse businesses.
