Description
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Correction is procuring a multi‑year blanket purchase order for flag‑related raw materials, blanks, finished flags, accessories, and related services to support its correctional facilities. Vendors may submit catalog‑style price lists, offer percentage discounts off list price or cost‑plus mark‑ups, and must meet strict delivery windows, security clearance requirements, and supplier‑diversity commitments. The contract is a one‑year initial term with up to fifteen one‑year renewal options, allowing the awardee to supply a wide variety of fabrics (heavy‑duty nylon, 2‑ply polyester, cotton bunting), flag blanks, hardware, and flag‑embroidery services on an as‑needed basis.
• Scope covers raw flag fabrics, finished flags, blanks, hardware (grommets, poles, mesh, netting) and flag‑embroidery services.
• Pricing is submitted via a market‑basket “percent off list” or cost‑plus model; freight must be included in unit prices.
• Evaluation heavily weighted to pricing, product availability, discounts, delivery performance, correctional‑facility experience, and supplier‑diversity/EPP compliance.
• Delivery must occur within 15 Commonwealth business days, with security clearances for drivers and no freight mixing.
