RFP 27-05 CPA Historic Preservation On-Call Technical Assistance

The Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Office is requesting proposals for on-call historic preservation technical assistance services under RFP 27-05, with proposals due August 26, 2026.

The scope encompasses consulting services to support the State Historic Preservation Office's mission, including but not limited to historic preservation planning, regulatory compliance guidance, architectural and engineering assessment, and technical assistance to property owners, municipalities, and other stakeholders. The contract structure is on-call, typically allowing the Commonwealth to task consultant resources as preservation needs and project opportunities arise throughout the contract term.

Eligible respondents must demonstrate relevant expertise in historic preservation practice, knowledge of Massachusetts and federal historic preservation law and regulatory frameworks, and experience working with state and local preservation programs. Professional credentials such as National Park Service Preservation Brief familiarity, Section 106 NEPA compliance experience, and state architectural or engineering licensure are likely qualification signals, though the source does not specify mandatory certifications.

The source does not disclose estimated contract value, contract term, set-asides or preferences, evaluation criteria, a pre-bid meeting, a question deadline, or incumbent contractor information. Respondents should consult the full RFP posting through the Massachusetts Operational Services Division or the State Historic Preservation Office website for detailed scope, budget authority, performance location, evaluation methodology, and any state small-business or minority-owned-business participation goals.
