RFR 2303. Material Handling Equipment and Services

The Massachusetts State Lottery Commission (MSLC) is seeking responses from qualified vendors interested in providing material handling equipment and related services. The MSLC requires a broad range of equipment such as forklifts, scanning devices, conveyors, and racking, as well as services including installation, maintenance, and emergency repair for the MSLC's warehousing operations. Bidders must provide detailed cost proposals using the provided cost tables, including pricing for an initial project to upgrade the MSLC's Canton drive-through location by June 30, 2023. Vendors must also detail their ability to provide the requested equipment and services, including for potential future upgrade projects to the MSLC's warehousing systems over the next 3-5 years. The contract will be awarded based on the bid that represents the best overall value to the Commonwealth, with a response deadline of February 23, 2023 at 10:00 AM Eastern and a mandatory bidder site visit scheduled for February 15, 2023.

The RFR does not mention any set-aside requirements or incumbent vendors. Funding for this contract will be provided through the MSLC's operating budget, but the specific amount is not disclosed. The contract term is for an initial period of three years with the possibility of two one-year renewal options, and the MSLC will consider fixed-price, time-and-materials, and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures.
