RFQ Lam-Glass

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of laminated safety glass products. The RFQ seeks proposals from qualified vendors to provide a variety of laminated glass products, including different sizes, thicknesses, and specifications, for use by various state and local government agencies within Massachusetts. The requested annual quantities range from 500 to 5,000 square feet. Responses to the RFQ are due by June 30, 2023, and a non-mandatory bidder's conference will be held on June 10, 2023. The resulting contract will have an initial one-year term, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. Pricing must be submitted on a per-square-foot basis, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The RFQ indicates that the contract will be subject to small business and minority-owned business enterprise (MBE) set-aside requirements. The current incumbent vendor is Glass Solutions, Inc., and the state has an estimated $750,000 annual budget for the requested laminated glass products. Funding for the contract will come from state and local government budgets. Vendors must complete various certification forms, including a Contractor Authorized Signatory Listing, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Sign Up Form, and Massachusetts Substitute W-9 Form, as part of the solicitation process.
