Description

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Police is seeking qualified, MA‑based small businesses to provide professional instruction for bagpipes and Highland‑style drums to support the State Police Pipes & Drums Band. The contract is a rolling‑enrollment, fee‑for‑service arrangement that initially runs for up to 24 months with three optional 24‑month renewals (potential total duration of eight years). Instructors must hold specific certifications, have extensive experience, and be available at least four hours per week for teaching and performance duties, plus supply required uniform accessories. The procurement is limited to SBPP‑eligible vendors and includes mandatory insurance, prompt‑payment discount, and electronic funds transfer requirements.

Budget estimate

$30,000 – $250,000

The RFR estimates an annual expenditure of roughly $31,000 for instruction services. Assuming the initial 24‑month term, the contract could generate about $62,000 in revenue, with potential extensions up to a total of eight years (≈ $248,000). Therefore a realistic range for a single vendor would be between $30,000 (if only the first year is performed) and $250,000 (if all renewals are exercised). Factors influencing the final amount include the number of instructors provided, the scope of accessories supplied, and any negotiated prompt‑payment discounts.
