The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Department of Revenue (DOR), is seeking qualified contractors to provide expert witness and consultant services for DOR litigation matters. DOR is soliciting responses from individuals, law firms, and consulting firms with expertise in areas such as transfer pricing, accounting, banking, finance, appraisal, valuation, statistical analysis, telecommunications, intellectual property, municipal finance, environmental remediation, and other industry-specific areas. The initial contract term is 5 years with an optional 5-year extension. Responses are due by June 16, 2023, and DOR anticipates executing contracts by June 28, 2023, with a July 1, 2023 start date. The evaluation will consider the bidder's proposed hourly rates for expert witness and consultant services, as well as a Supplier Diversity Plan committing a minimum of 1% of contract sales to diverse business partners.

The Commonwealth reserves the right to award contracts to one or more Small Business Purchasing Program participants that meet the best value criteria. Bidders are required to comply with various security, tax, and child support requirements. The contract will not be funded in whole or in part by federal funds, and DOR may award contracts to multiple qualified bidders. Existing contracts for these services may be replaced by this new solicitation.
