The SDP commitment becomes binding annually for the duration of the contract, measured on a Massachusetts fiscal year basis (July 1–June 30). Only spending with certified partners appearing in the Supplier Diversity Office Directory of Certified Businesses or the SBA Veteran Small Business Certification directory counts toward compliance.
The vessel must meet minimum specifications outlined in Section 8 of the RFR and be shipped and delivered to the Division's facility at 836 South Rodney French Boulevard, New Bedford, Massachusetts.
