SP21-ETCH-S66 Labels

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of State Police is seeking responses from qualified bidders to provide anodized and etched aluminum property labels and other types of tags. The requested labels must meet specific size, material, and design requirements, such as a matte dark blue background, matte aluminum copy, and 6-digit sequential numbers with barcodes. The contract term is 24 months with up to five 12-month renewal options, for a total potential duration of 7 years. Responses are due by January 26, 2022, and the estimated contract start date is February 1, 2022. Pricing will remain fixed during the initial contract period, with the opportunity for contractors to request price increases during any renewal periods. Bidders must submit a Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) Plan committing a percentage of sales to certified diverse businesses, which will be evaluated as part of the overall bid response.

This procurement is targeted to verified small businesses participating in the Commonwealth's Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP), though the Department may award to non-SBPP vendors if needed. The estimated value of the contract is $7,000 over the life of the agreement, and the Department does not guarantee any minimum purchase levels. Bidders must provide references and be subject to a criminal background check. The Department intends to award the contract to one or more qualified vendors, and the contract's terms and conditions are included in the Commonwealth's standard contract documentation.
