Trial Court Office Supply, Toner, & Custom Print RFR

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is seeking vendors to provide a statewide contract for office supplies, toner, and custom print services for the Massachusetts Trial Court system. The Request for Response (RFR) covers a wide range of office supply and toner products across various manufacturers, as well as custom printed items such as stamps, checks, and envelopes. Vendors must provide pricing, discounts, and product details for the requested items, which will be evaluated based on factors including prompt payment discounts and volume discounts. Responses to the RFR are due by April 19, 2018, and the expected contract duration is up to five years with three one-year renewal options, for a total maximum of eight years. The contract will utilize fixed pricing for the first 12 months on market basket items, with subsequent annual increases capped at 1.5%.

The RFR includes provisions for set-asides for certified small and minority-owned businesses. The current incumbent contractor for this contract is Office Depot. While the RFR does not specify an award value or budget range, it indicates the Massachusetts Trial Court may utilize federal funds to support this procurement. Vendor performance will be a key factor in determining whether to extend or renew the contract upon expiration of the initial term.
