Field Supplies and Equipment

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the Department of Fish & Game/Division of Marine Fisheries in Massachusetts to obtain various field supplies and equipment to be used for research purposes on an "as needed" basis. The agency is seeking items such as temperature/water quality monitors, transects tapes, meter sticks, calipers, and other measuring equipment. The procurement method allows for multiple contractors, with an expected 9-year contract duration. The estimated expenditures are $30,000 ($10,000 per year for 3 years), and vendors must provide a pricing list or catalog of the available field supplies and equipment, along with any discounts. The evaluation criteria include the vendors' ability to provide the required products, their pricing, and their past performance.

This is a small procurement targeted to businesses participating in the Commonwealth's Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP), with subcontracting limited to 20% of the contract value unless to another SBPP participant. The contract must also comply with the Commonwealth's requirements for environmentally preferable products and services. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the available budget range is $30,000 over 3 years.
