Teaching/Training/Administrative Materials and Services

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Department of Youth Services (DYS), is seeking qualified vendors to provide a variety of teaching, training, and administrative materials and services under a 5-year contract with potential for renewal. The contract covers five main categories: 1) plastic ID cards, 2) first aid/CPR/AED course materials and completion cards, 3) individual learning style assessment services, 4) ropes course parts and accessories, and 5) team building educational materials. Bidders must have a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience and are required to provide detailed pricing and technical information. The procurement is targeted to small businesses participating in the Commonwealth's Small Business Purchasing Program, but may be awarded to other responsive bidders if adequate small business capacity is not available. Quotes are due by November 8, 2019, and the estimated contract start date is November 25, 2019.

The resulting contract is expected to have a total value of $125,000 over the initial 3-year term plus two 1-year renewal options. While no incumbent contractors are identified, the procurement documents indicate the contract will be limited for use by DYS and other Executive Office of Health and Human Services departments and divisions within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Pricing will be based on the successful bidder's quoted prices, which must be provided for the initial 3-year term and two 1-year renewal options. Bidders must also complete required forms related to prompt payment discounts and environmentally preferable products.
