RFP for Audit Services

The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Audit Services to procure the services of a qualified public accounting firm to perform annual financial audits of its financial statements and audits to report on its compliance with OMB Circular A-133 for major federally-funded programs for fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017. Respondents must have a minimum of 5 years of experience auditing governmental organizations, meet independence standards, and comply with peer review and continuing education requirements. The selection will be based on the firm's experience, proposed approach, staff qualifications, references, and pricing. Responses are due by 3:00 PM EST on January 9, 2015, and must include separate pricing for the annual audit of financial statements and the A-133 audits, with estimated hours for each component as well as hourly rates for personnel.

The RFP does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the RFP does not provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The current audit fees were $102,360 in FY2014, comprised of $78,080 for the annual financial statement audit and $24,280 for A-133 audits of three federal grants. Mass Tech Collaborative expects to have two remaining federal grants that will require audit during FY2015, but does not currently have any new federal grants awarded for 2015.
