Description
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Mental Health is establishing a Master List of licensed camps that can host children referred for mental‑health services during summer and other non‑school periods. Vendors must be licensed camp operators (DPH‑approved), submit an all‑inclusive weekly rate, demonstrate compliance with health‑ and safety regulations, and meet supplier‑diversity and environmental‑preferable‑product requirements. The contract will be awarded as a master agreement with an initial term of up to five years (renewable for an additional five years) and may be awarded on a rolling basis through June 1 2036.
• Required: Current DPH camp license (or comparable out‑of‑state license) and liability insurance.
• Pricing: All‑inclusive weekly rate; contractors must match any lower public‑sector price offered elsewhere.
• Mandatory compliance: 105 CMR 430 health‑safety standards, SBPP/SDP requirements, and environmental‑preferable product checklist (no single‑use plastic bottles).
• Annual budget ceiling ≈ $1 million; contract term up to 5 years (potential 10‑year total).
