Description
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is seeking detailed information from qualified firms on the feasibility, cost structure, and revenue potential of generating forest‑carbon credits from both state‑owned and privately owned forest lands. The RFI aims to inform future policy and potential procurement for projects that improve forest management, protect land, and generate carbon offsets that can be used for state net‑zero commitments or sold in voluntary markets. Respondents must provide scenario‑based estimates, discuss methodology choices, risk and integrity considerations, and outline possible project structures and market outlooks.
• Provide experience and case studies related to forest‑carbon projects, methodologies, and ecosystem co‑benefits.
• Offer quantitative or range‑based estimates of credit volume, development/verification costs, timelines, sale prices, and net revenues for state and private lands.
• Discuss project and procurement structures, carbon‑accounting integrity, risk‑allocation mechanisms, and market trends for both voluntary and compliance carbon markets.
• Submit the response via the COMMBUYS portal by the specified deadline, following the “Create a Quote” and “Attach a Quote” workflow.
• No monetary award is attached to this RFI; information gathered will shape possible future solicitations.
