REQ->RFQ 93rd RTT F27 CLT09 Metal-Field Scarf/Necktie Clip Mens

The Massachusetts Department of State Police is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for metal field scarf/necktie clips for men, designated as RFQ 93rd RTT F27 CLT09. This procurement seeks to acquire male officer neckwear accessories that meet specified standards for field use. The RFQ was posted on April 2, 2026, with a submission deadline of April 8, 2026. The Department will evaluate quotes based on best value overall, considering both proposed pricing and any alternative solutions that align with the procurement objectives. Awards may be made on a whole or individual item basis, depending on which approach delivers the greatest value to the Commonwealth. Vendors must ensure all submissions are received by the stated deadline, as no late bids will be accepted. The Department reserves the right to negotiate contract terms, performance specifications, and costs with selected bidders to optimize value and reduce expenses.

A critical requirement applies specifically to products manufactured by Blackinton: the Massachusetts State Police will no longer accept direct drop shipments from the manufacturer. For any Blackinton-branded products, the awarded vendor must coordinate shipment arrangements directly with Blackinton, with the vendor assuming responsibility for delivery to MSP Supply rather than allowing third-party drop shipment arrangements. The documentation does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, incumbent vendors, budget ranges, or award values at this time. Interested vendors should review all attached procurement documents thoroughly to understand complete specifications, ordering procedures, and any additional terms and conditions governing this contract opportunity.
