MPA 532 OE moving services

The State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases is soliciting qualified vendors for MPA 532 Open Enrollment moving services, with proposals due December 31, 2030 at 5:00 p.m. EST through Ocean State Procures. The solicitation includes a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation requirement: vendors must submit a completed MBE Participation Acknowledgment Form, and agencies must request MBE Utilization Plans when awards are issued.

The scope covers commercial office relocations, household and residential relocations, library moves, storage services, and other related moving services, purchased on an as-needed basis under a statewide Master Price Agreement. Political subdivisions, municipalities, institutions for higher education, municipal and state schools, and quasi-public agencies may participate. The State provides no guaranteed level of purchasing activity. User agencies select vendors for specific projects based on price, expertise, and availability, and vendors submit quotes when agencies issue project scopes of work.

Vendors must hold all applicable federal, state, and local licenses and submit copies with their proposals. Required insurance includes general liability of $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation of $100,000 each accident, and automobile liability of $1 million each occurrence. Each response must include the Vendor Certification Questionnaire, covering disclosures, ownership information, conflicts of interest, licensing, insurance compliance, and adherence to State law.

Pricing is firm and fixed unless otherwise indicated, and proposals remain irrevocable for a minimum of 180 days. The State withholds a 0.33% contract administrative fee from all invoices, effective January 1, 2026. Proposals are evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis for all criteria, and failure in any category results in rejection. The State may make one or multiple awards or reject all bids at its sole discretion.
