The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Lemuel Shattuck Hospital, is seeking a vendor to provide digital holter monitors, cardiac event monitors, associated supplies, and timely analysis by certified technicians for its Cardiac Holter Monitoring Services contract opportunity (RFR201230). The expected initial contract duration is up to 6 years, with 2 optional 2-year renewals. Responses are due by January 13, 2020, and the anticipated contract start date is January 29, 2020. The required services include data analysis, reporting, and providing training for hospital staff. Bidders must provide detailed rate sheets and indicate replacement costs for any lost or damaged equipment. The evaluation criteria focus on the ability to meet healthcare industry standards, reasonable rates, quality of references, and a commitment to spend a percentage of sales with certified Minority, Women, Veteran, and other diverse businesses. Prompt payment discounts are strongly encouraged.

The Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) form requires bidders to commit a percentage of subcontracting or procurement to certified Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) vendors, but there is no minimum or maximum percentage requirement. Existing vendors under a master agreement contract do not need to submit a new SDP plan, as the previously approved plan applies to all engagements under the contract. The contract opportunity does not provide details on any set-asides, incumbent vendors, or award value ranges.
