Preventative maintenance on 4 elevators, state testing, pre-inspections, permit fees on 4 elevators

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is requesting proposals for preventative maintenance on four elevators, including state testing, pre-inspections, and permit fees, with proposals due August 10, 2026. This procurement is restricted to Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) participants, which carries a decision-flipping eligibility gate.

To qualify as an SBPP participant, a firm must have its principal place of business in Massachusetts, have operated for at least one year, employ a combined total of 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees across all locations (or have employees work fewer than 26,000 hours per quarter combined), and have gross revenues of $15 million or less based on a three-year average. Non-profit entities must be registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office and maintain tax-exempt status under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. Bidders are responsible for verifying their current SBPP registration at submission and throughout contract performance; misrepresentation of SBPP status may result in disqualification, debarment, contract termination, and other enforcement actions.

Award preference is provided to registered SBPP participants meeting the best-value criteria established in the solicitation. The scope encompasses preventative maintenance services, state-mandated testing, pre-inspections, and permit fees for four elevators, though specific building locations, elevator types, maintenance frequency, and service-level terms are not identified in the posted materials. The procurement timeline is compressed — proposals are due five days from posting. Additional assistance is available through the SBPP Help Desk at sbpp@mass.gov or the SBPP webpage at http://www.mass.gov/sbpp.
