TWO 25-ft Response Vessels

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of State Police is procuring TWO (2) 25-foot Center Console Response Vessels and related parts and accessories through a Request for Response (RFR). The RFR provides detailed specifications for the vessels, including required warranties, environmental requirements, and compensation structure. The procurement is being funded through the Port Security Grant Program managed by FEMA under the Department of Homeland Security. Bidders must be qualified to construct vessels of this size and type, having produced at least twenty (20) of similar design over the last five (5) year period. The RFR outlines the procurement calendar, with a due date of May 27, 2020, and specifies that a minimum 10% weight will be given to the Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) Plan as part of the bid evaluation criteria.

The RFR does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, it does allow bidders to indicate their SBPP, woman-owned, minority-owned, or veteran-owned status on the provided bid sheet. No information is provided regarding any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The estimated value of the contract is $225,000, but the RFR does not provide any further details on the award value or budget range.
