Description

The Department of Conservation and Recreation is establishing a Master Services Agreement (MSA) to provide a broad suite of interpretive services across its parks, visitor centers, and historic sites. The contract is structured as a rate‑based, multi‑category agreement with a $5 M maximum ceiling, an initial three‑year term and one optional two‑year renewal. Vendors may submit proposals for any of nine distinct categories, ranging from visitor‑experience planning and interpretive media design to original artwork production, fabrication, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Qualification requires at least three years of relevant experience (two years for artwork), compliance with ADA/Universal Access standards, and submission of detailed work samples, references, and staff resumes. Mandatory supplemental forms include Prompt‑Payment Discount, Environmentally Preferable Products, and a Massachusetts‑specific W‑9. • Nine separate service categories covering planning, design, media production, artwork, fabrication, installation, and maintenance. • $5 M maximum contract value, rate‑based pricing, 3‑year base term with one 2‑year extension option. • Small‑Business Purchasing Program eligibility required; optional Supplier‑Diversity plan may add evaluation points.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

The solicitation cites a $5 M maximum obligation for the entire five‑year life of the contract. Assuming a balanced distribution of work across the nine categories, a vendor could earn anywhere from a few hundred thousand dollars for a single‑category specialty contract up to the full $5 M if awarded the turn‑key contract covering all categories. Factors influencing the final amount include the number of categories pursued, the rates submitted, and any optional extensions.
