Portable Fire extinguisher Preventative Maintenance TRD03 RFQ

The Veterans Home in Holyoke, a Massachusetts state agency, is requesting quotes on the Massachusetts Operational Services Division TRD03 cooperative-purchasing contract for preventative maintenance and inspection of portable fire extinguishers, with quotes due August 29, 2026. Vendors must be pre-qualified or approved to perform work under the OSD TRD03 contract vehicle — a mandatory eligibility gate.

The scope covers annual inspection, testing, maintenance, documentation, and regulatory compliance of all portable fire extinguishers at the facility. Services must comply with applicable state and federal fire safety codes, with documentation required for each service performed. A bidder walkthrough is referenced in the scope document to familiarize vendors with facility requirements and extinguisher quantities, though the walk-through date is not specified in the posted materials.

Massachusetts prevailing wage requirements apply. The wage schedule effective July 31, 2026 establishes minimum hourly rates for numerous construction trades and classifications, with scheduled escalations through 2028. All contractors and subcontractors must submit weekly payroll reports and maintain compliance documentation for three years. Posting is required at the job site throughout the service period. Failure to pay prevailing wages constitutes a legal violation subject to civil and criminal penalties.

The source does not specify an estimated contract value, initial contract term, renewal options, or evaluation criteria. Questions and pre-bid meeting details, if any, are not included in the posted materials.
