Department of Youth Services Master Service Pre-Qualification Application

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Department of Youth Services (DYS), has issued a Master Service Pre-Qualification Application (MSPQA) for providers of residential and capacity building services. The MSPQA is a requirement for any agency seeking to bid on future DYS Residential Services Requests for Responses (RFRs) or Capacity Building RFRs over the next five years until 2027. The MSPQA establishes the pre-qualification process for potential providers, outlining detailed requirements related to compliance with DYS policies, federal and state regulations, training and supervision, staffing, documentation, quality assurance, and reporting. Responders must demonstrate their capacity to provide comprehensive residential programming and services, integrate educational services, and recruit and retain qualified staff. The MSPQA is open for responses until May 11, 2027, and the proposed facilities and services must be located in Massachusetts.

The MSPQA does not provide pricing information or set-aside requirements, but rather is focused on the application and qualification process. There is no information provided about specific funding sources, award values, or budget ranges. The document also does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The MSPQA is a pre-qualification application, and the actual contract terms and pricing will be negotiated separately for any DYS Residential Services or Capacity Building RFRs that successful responders are awarded over the next five years.
