About this opportunity
The Massachusetts state government is requesting quotes for instructor-led chainsaw certificate and safety training for 20–30 bargaining unit employees under an RFQ due October 21, 2026, with contract performance from October 22, 2026 through June 30, 2028.
The Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) applies to this procurement. SBPP-registered participants meeting best-value criteria receive contract awards; the state will evaluate non-SBPP bidders only if no SBPP participant meets the established best-value threshold. To qualify for SBPP registration, vendors must maintain their principal place of business in Massachusetts, have operated for at least one year, employ 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees across all locations (or have employees working fewer than 26,000 combined hours per quarter), and report gross revenues of $15 million or less based on a three-year average. Nonprofit organizations must also be registered with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, maintain current filings, and hold tax-exempt status under IRC Section 501(c). Bidders are responsible for confirming current SBPP registration at submission and throughout contract performance; misrepresentation results in disqualification, potential debarment, contract termination, and enforcement action.
The scope is a chainsaw certificate and safety course designed for Unit 2 state employees, with optional add-on topics including storm cleanup. Vendors must specify the price per cohort, learning objectives, course length, and maximum number of participants in their proposals. The RFQ does not identify incumbent contractors, specify contract value, establish evaluation weighting, or indicate a pre-bid meeting or site visit. Questions may be submitted through the Commbuys Question and Answers section. Proposals are submitted via Commbuys.
