About this opportunity
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office for Administration and Finance Operational Services Division (OSD) is reopening the ITS78 contract vehicle to expand its scope and add two new service categories addressing critical cybersecurity and compliance needs. This is a reopening of an existing contract rather than a new solicitation, with the OSD planning to post the opportunity in April 2026 and close bidding on May 21, 2026. The procurement seeks to add Category 5 for PCI Council Approved Quality Security Assessors (QSAs) and related QSA consulting services, and Category 6 for PCI Council Approved Scanning Vendors (ASVs) including vulnerability testing and other security compliance scans and testing. Prospective vendors must hold appropriate PCI Council approvals and certifications to qualify as QSAs or ASVs. Bid submissions are required through COMMBUYS, the Commonwealth's procurement portal, and interested parties should monitor COMMBUYS regularly and register for email notifications using the relevant UNSPSC commodity codes (80-11-18-00 for Data, Cybersecurity, and Related Services; 81-16-00-00 for Information Technology Service Delivery; 43-23-32-00 for Security and protection software; 83-12-00-00 for Information Services; and 93-15-00 for Public administration and finance services). Pre-solicitation inquiries should be directed to Joshua Flanagan-Lanier at joshua.flanagan-lanier@mass.gov, while post-posting questions must be submitted through COMMBUYS Q&A.
The notice does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting eligible bidders to particular organization types; however, the OSD offers resources regarding supplier diversity programs for interested vendors. No incumbent vendors, award values, or budget ranges are identified in the available documentation. Bidders are responsible for monitoring COMMBUYS for any amendments to the announcement and for accessing complete solicitation documentation once posted. The OSD Help Desk is available at OSDHelpDesk@mass.gov for vendors requiring assistance with COMMBUYS functionality. Prior to solicitation posting, the OSD provides educational resources to interested bidders including vendor training courses and environmentally preferable products procurement guidance to support a robust competitive process.
