About this opportunity
The Massachusetts Department of Fire Services is allocating FY2027 non-discretionary earmarks, not soliciting competitive bids, with a listed due date of October 31, 2026, which has already passed. The earmarks are authorized under GAA Acts of 2026, Chapter 137, and carry minimum expenditure requirements rather than competitive award terms, so they offer no pursuit path for vendors.
The earmarks total approximately $7,561,000, comprising $3,761,000 under line item 8324-0050 and $3,800,000 under line item 8324-0000. They support fire departments, fire service organizations, and public safety agencies for equipment purchases, facility improvements, training programs, personnel costs, vehicle replacements, communications system upgrades, and community safety initiatives. Individual allocations range from $15,000 to $150,000, with larger awards including $500,000 to the New Bedford Fire Department for personnel costs and Fire Station 9 operations, $1,700,000 to the Boston Fire Department Training Academy, and $2,000,000 to the On-Site Academy for critical incident stress management services.
The attached government file is the Department of Fire Services 2027 Earmarks spreadsheet, posted October 30, 2026. Business development teams should watch the recipient agencies for downstream equipment and services purchases, which will follow their own procurement processes.
