RFR 255334 Entertainers

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is issuing a Request for Response (RFR) for onsite entertainment services at its four public health hospitals. DPH is seeking persons or groups to provide 60-120 minute entertainment programs such as magic, music, slide shows, and dancing on an as-needed basis. The anticipated contract term is 5 years with a 1 option to renew for an additional 5 years, and responses are due by December 30, 2034. DPH intends to award this small procurement to one or more Massachusetts-based small businesses participating in the state's Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP), provided they meet the best value criteria. Bidders are required to submit a rate sheet, resume, performance history, and performance brochure.

This procurement is set aside for Massachusetts-based small businesses participating in the SBPP. The estimated total value of the procurement, including all potential renewals, is $150,000, with an estimated annual amount of $15,000. No federal funds will be used. The Commonwealth has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors for this opportunity, and there are no specific technology or infrastructure integration requirements.
