FAC116 RFQ - OFBA Trailer

The state and local contract opportunity, identified as FAC116 RFQ - OFBA Trailer, is a procurement initiative by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, specifically targeting Middlesex County. The procurement focuses on acquiring an 8-ton 16+4 split tilt deck trailer for the Massachusetts Fish and Game Office's Office of Fishing and Boating (OFBA). The procurement documents detail a specific trailer from Richey & Clapper, Inc., which includes key specifications such as a spare tire, 12K drop leg jack, oak decking, and L.E.D. lighting, with a 215/75/17.5 Black 8x6.5 assembly. The contract opportunity was posted on May 7, 2025, with a rapid turnaround time, as proposals are due by May 9, 2025 - just two days after posting. The vendor indicates the trailer can be completed at the factory within 7-10 days and potentially delivered before June 30. The total estimated invoice value for the trailer is $15,451.45, with the quote valid for 15 days and based on a cash/check discounted purchase price.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears to be a standard state contract purchase under FAC-116, which suggests potential pre-negotiated pricing and procurement arrangements. The contract is specifically for the Massachusetts Office of Fishing and Boating, located at 53 Groton Shirley Road in Ayer, Massachusetts, with David Diotalevi listed as the contact person. The procurement seems focused on a direct equipment purchase rather than a competitive bidding process, with a clear specification of the required trailer. The budget range is precisely defined at $15,451.45, indicating a fixed-price procurement for a specific equipment need. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or required technology integrations, and the document suggests this is a straightforward equipment acquisition through an existing state contract mechanism.
