EETF Tax Prep RFQ 2016

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Economic Empowerment Trust Fund (EETF), is seeking proposals for tax preparation services to complete the organization's annual Form 990 and Form PC tax filings. The RFQ specifies that the selected vendor(s) will be responsible for reviewing records, compiling documents, and drafting the applicable tax forms for the EETF's 2015-2016 fiscal year, with a target completion date of October 31, 2016. Responses are due by August 12, 2016, and the EETF intends to award a one-year contract, with an option to extend for an additional year. The EETF will evaluate proposals based on the bidder's qualifications, experience, and proposed services (75% of the score), as well as the cost proposal (25% of the score).

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the RFQ does not identify any incumbent contractors or existing infrastructure requirements. While the EETF has established a tentative budget for these services, the Commonwealth has not disclosed a specific award value or budget range.
