MPTC-FY2026-FY2036 MPTC Specialized Police Training

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee (MPTC) is seeking vendors to provide specialized police training services across the state, with a focus on delivering comprehensive law enforcement training through an extensive contract running from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2035. The solicitation targets professional training providers capable of delivering specialized instruction at eight academy training sites and other locations, with training sessions ranging from 4 to 15 workdays and offered in both in-person and online formats. Bidders must demonstrate at least three years of business experience and provide training across various law enforcement skill development areas not currently covered by existing statewide contracts. The procurement will utilize an hourly fee or fee-for-service rate contract, with compensation based on per-attendee completion of training and requiring signed rosters for each training day. Evaluation criteria will include the relevance of training topics, company experience, pricing, and Supplier Diversity Plan, with at least 25% of evaluation points allocated to the Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) submission. The MPTC intends to award up to 100 contracts, with the solicitation remaining open through September 30, 2035.

The contract includes a mandatory Supplier Diversity Program requirement, compelling bidders to commit a minimum of 1% of contract sales to diverse businesses certified by the Supplier Diversity Office. Eligible diverse businesses include minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and other certified diverse business enterprises. Vendors must complete registration in COMMBUYS, the Commonwealth's official procurement system, and submit a comprehensive Supplier Diversity Plan detailing their commitment to diverse business engagement. Bidders will need to provide a Contractor Authorized Signatory Listing and complete standard Massachusetts procurement documentation, including a W-9 form, Prompt Payment Discount form, and business references. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract allows for potential future renewals, with two 5-year extension options potentially extending the total contract duration to 20 years. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the training services and the potential for up to 100 contract awards suggests a significant potential contract value for qualified vendors specializing in law enforcement training.
