The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), specifically the Division of Water Supply Protection, is conducting a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for landscape products through the Commbuys system. The procurement focuses on soil aggregate products, with specific requirements for 200 tons of 3" Minus Processed Gravel and 200 tons of 1-1/2" Dense Graded Crushed Stone. Delivery is anticipated in 5 tractor trailer loads to 500 Wilson Street in Clinton, MA by September 26, 2025. Vendors must submit electronic responses via Commbuys by September 16, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with an estimated contract award date of September 19, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include pricing, availability, product specifications, and options. The RFQ allows for equivalent product substitutions and requires vendors to incorporate delivery fees into their quotes. Potential vendors must be registered on the FAC122 contract and in the Commbuys system.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The RFQ reserves DCR's right to accept, reject, or negotiate quotes, and to cancel the procurement entirely. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement involves approximately 400 total tons of aggregate materials. Vendors seeking additional information or clarification can contact Bryan LaRochelle at Bryan.LaRochelle@mass.gov or 774-261-1824. The DCR will not reimburse vendors for proposal preparation costs, and interested parties must ensure they meet all registration and system requirements before submitting a quote. The procurement is specifically targeted at Worcester County and will support the Department of Conservation and Recreation's infrastructure and landscaping needs.
