VEH103 Windshield and Glass Replacement for Vehicles

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of windshield and glass replacement services for vehicles and equipment in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, specifically in Suffolk County. The Operational Services Division of the Commonwealth is seeking multiple vendors to provide these services statewide, with a highly desirable ability to also service the surrounding New England states. The contract will require vendors to offer a percentage discount off the published National Auto Glass Specifications (NAGS) Part & Price Listing for windshield and glass replacement and repair costs, as well as other related service charges and fees. The initial contract term is 3 years with two 3-year renewal options, for a maximum term of 9 years. Bids are due by May 3, 2016, and the estimated contract start date is July 1, 2016. Pricing will be a significant factor in the evaluation, and the Commonwealth may negotiate changes to any contract element, including pricing, with the selected bidder(s).

The Commonwealth has designated this as a Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) contract, requiring bidders to commit a specific percentage of their sales to be spent with certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE). While no incumbent vendors are listed, the Commonwealth is seeking the best value and may award to multiple vendors. The contract has no specified maximum obligation amount, and the funding source is not provided in the available documents.
