IFB25-01 MMA Gym Equipment

The Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) is seeking to purchase new Rogue Weight Room/Gym Athletic Equipment through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. The equipment, detailed in IFB 25-01, includes 52 individual items such as racks, barbells, plates, and other accessories. MMA intends to enter into an agreement in July 2024, with delivery and setup of the equipment by September 1, 2024, where possible. Bidder questions are due by July 8, 2024, and sealed bids must be submitted by July 16, 2024. MMA will notify the selected vendor by July 19, 2024, and the fully executed agreement must be completed by July 23, 2024. The price proposal form requires bidders to provide the cost for each equipment item, as well as the total installation and delivery costs. MMA is a tax-exempt agency, so sales tax should not be included. The IFB also outlines various legal requirements, including non-discrimination in employment, non-collusion, debarment certification, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' standard contract terms and conditions that the selected vendor must agree to.

This contract opportunity is not designated as a set-aside for any specific type of organization. The IFB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not provide a specific award value or budget range, but interested parties should submit their most competitive bids to be considered for this contract.
