Massachusetts Development Finance Agency

Massachusetts Development Finance Agency, registered in SAM.gov since August 2001 and classified as a U.S. local government entity, serves as a critical infrastructure and economic development partner to federal agencies. The agency provides comprehensive utility services, construction support, credit enhancement programs, and emergency response capabilities to federal installations and communities throughout Massachusetts. As a specialized government entity, MDFA leverages its expertise in facility management and economic development to support both operational needs of federal facilities and broader community infrastructure initiatives.

Through federal prime contracts, Massachusetts Development Finance Agency has demonstrated substantial expertise in providing utility services to the Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons Federal Medical Center Devens. The agency held multiple purchase order contracts for electric, natural gas, water, and wastewater utility services spanning fiscal years 2022 and 2023, with individual contract values ranging from approximately $43,000 to $621,000. These contracts were awarded on a firm fixed-price basis without set-aside designations, covering quarterly and monthly service periods at the Federal Medical Center facilities in Ayer and Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to direct utility provision, the agency has served as a subcontractor to Booz Allen Hamilton for annual snow removal services at federal facilities, demonstrating its capacity to perform specialized facility maintenance operations. The cumulative value of MDFA's utility service contracts reflects its role as a reliable operational partner for critical federal infrastructure.
