MassDOT Due Diligence Posting SRTS Bike Helmet Donation

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), specifically through its Office of Transportation Planning, is conducting a due diligence posting to accept a best value offer for a bicycle helmet donation for the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program. The procurement seeks up to 500 bicycle helmets in various sizes, which must be donated by a qualified vendor and include the SRTS logo with specific dimensions of 3" x 2". The primary objective is to distribute these helmets to students participating in SRTS events and training programs. Interested vendors must submit their electronic responses through COMMBUYS, the state's procurement platform, by 1 PM on October 24, 2025. The evaluation process will be open and competitive, with MassDOT reserving the right to accept the original offer, alternative offers, or multiple offers of comparable value. Vendors must submit documentation demonstrating their qualifications and ability to provide the helmets, and must maintain an active COMMBUYS account throughout the contract duration.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, vendors must comply with standard Commonwealth of Massachusetts procurement requirements. The procurement appears to be structured as a donation rather than a traditional contract, with Jeff Glassman Injury Lawyers identified as the original donor of the helmets. No specific budget range is provided, though the procurement is limited to 500 helmets. Technical support for the procurement process is available through the COMMBUYS helpdesk via website, email, and telephone during standard business hours. Vendors should be aware that the COMMBUYS platform may have scheduled maintenance periods, and must ensure continuous access and compliance with state procurement protocols. The donation aims to support student safety through the Safe Routes to School program by providing protective equipment for cycling activities.
