Electronic Voting Equipment

The state of Massachusetts is seeking proposals for the procurement of electronic voting equipment. This opportunity is focused on the acquisition of hardware, software, and associated services to support the state's election processes. Key deliverables include the deployment of secure and accessible voting systems across Massachusetts' jurisdictions, with the primary objective of ensuring the integrity and efficiency of the state's electoral infrastructure. Qualified respondents should demonstrate experience in providing turnkey voting solutions that meet or exceed state and federal certification requirements, as well as the ability to integrate with existing election management systems. Proposals will be evaluated based on criteria such as technical capabilities, cost-effectiveness, maintenance and support services, and the vendor's track record of successful implementations. The response deadline for this opportunity is August 7, 2017, and a pre-bid conference may be scheduled to address any questions from interested parties.

This solicitation is open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations. However, the state encourages participation from disadvantaged business enterprises and small to medium-sized companies that can demonstrate the necessary expertise and resources to execute the project. The incumbent vendor for the state's current voting systems is not publicly disclosed, and prospective respondents should be prepared to seamlessly integrate their proposed solutions with Massachusetts' existing election infrastructure. The anticipated award value for this contract is not specified, but bidders should be aware of the state's budgetary considerations and propose accordingly.
