Jaill Glass, Cell Glass

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of jail glass and cell glass products. The state is seeking fixed pricing for the supply and delivery of tempered, laminated, and wire glass in various sizes and thicknesses to multiple locations within the state. Responses to the RFQ are due by February 26, 2018, and a non-mandatory site visit is scheduled prior to the submission deadline. The resulting contract will have an initial term of one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. The RFQ provides detailed specifications for the required products and outlines the Commonwealth's current usage and spending for these items.

The RFQ has set aside a portion of the work for certified minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned business enterprises. While the current incumbent is not identified, the state has specified a maximum available funding amount for this procurement, which will come from the state's general budget. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Standard Contract Form will be used, outlining the general contractual requirements, procurement process, compensation structure, payment terms, and contractor obligations.
