MDAR- Master List for Veterinary Services-FY21

The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, Division of Animal Health is seeking to establish a Master Contract with qualified veterinarians through a Request for Response (RFR) for "MDAR- Master List for Veterinary Services-FY21". The RFR is open to veterinarians with experience in large animal, small animal, or avian/poultry care, and will result in the creation of a list of approved vendors that the Department can utilize to meet its routine, specialized, and emergency veterinary service needs. Applicants must provide details on their licensing, areas of practice, and the specific services they are willing to provide, which include conducting TB testing, vaccinating animals, collecting diagnostic samples, and providing Johne's program support or rescue organization consultations. The RFR allows for rolling submissions from May 7, 2021, through March 30, 2031, with the possibility of contract extensions up to June 30, 2031. Pricing will be based on a fee-for-service model, with the Department periodically posting and updating a list of standard procedure reimbursements on their website. The RFR does not require a Supplier Diversity Plan, but submissions will be evaluated based on responsiveness, qualifications, and determination of best value to the Commonwealth.

This is a prequalification contract rather than a competitive solicitation, so there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFR also does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify award values or budget ranges, as the funding for any resulting contract is contingent upon the Department's receipt of departmental funds.
