RFQ 2204. Agent Hardware, Parts, and Services

The Massachusetts State Lottery Commission (MSLC) has issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2204 to establish a list of qualified vendors capable of providing agent location hardware, parts, and services. This open enrollment RFQ seeks qualification statements from interested companies to supply a range of lottery equipment including full service terminals, compact terminals, mobile terminals, ticket checkers, player activated terminals, and other miscellaneous equipment and peripherals. The RFQ outlines mandatory bidder requirements and evaluation criteria, with an initial response deadline of February 3, 2022 and a rolling enrollment period through November 30, 2028. Once qualified, vendors will be eligible to participate in any future Requests for Responses (RFRs) issued by the MSLC to fulfill its lottery equipment and maintenance needs. Key deliverables include adherence to the MSLC's detailed inventory management requirements for packaging, labeling, and asset data reporting.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not specify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The MSLC indicates it will make multiple contract awards and reserves the right to obtain pricing, including any GSA or federal pricing, from the qualified vendors as needed. No award values or budget ranges are provided in the RFQ documents. The MSLC has a preferred pricing policy where no other state or public entity customer within the U.S. of similar size and terms and conditions shall receive a lower price for the same commodity and service during the contract period, unless the MSLC is given the same price.
