ITC71: Walk- Through Metal Detector

The Bureau of the State House is soliciting quotes for a walk-through metal detector under Massachusetts Statewide Contract ITC71, with quotes due November 19, 2026. The procurement is restricted to Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) participants with principal places of business in Massachusetts, provided they meet best value criteria. Non-SBPP bidders will be evaluated only if no SBPP participant meets the evaluation standards. SBPP eligibility requires at least one year in business, 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees (or less than 26,000 combined hours per quarter), and gross revenues of $15 million or less based on a three-year average.

The required equipment is an SMD 600 plus CEIA walk-through metal detector that meets Enhanced Metal Detector (EMD) standards and is fully compliant with the NIJ-0601.02 Standard. The unit must detect metal weapons, including items concealed in body cavities, at detection speeds of 50 feet per second or better and throughput rates as low as 0.2 seconds. After delivery, the vendor must provide installation, initial testing, calibration, training for Bureau of the State House Security and DCR Ranger Staff, and documentation of all calibration and testing procedures. Vendors must also price an annual preventative maintenance plan that includes documented annual testing, calibration, and safety checks coinciding with the contract end date.

The contract term runs through May 31, 2028. Award evaluation considers pricing, ability to meet RFQ specifications, SBPP criteria, and experience with the Bureau of the State House, with no weighting stated.
