Description
MassDOT is seeking qualified vendors to provide full‑service catering for state‑supported events throughout Massachusetts. The contract will be awarded on a qualification‑based (best‑value) basis, with a five‑year initial term and two optional two‑year extensions, operating under a rolling enrollment model. Vendors must submit menus, pricing inclusive of paper goods, utensils, servers, and food warmers, and supply a current food‑service license. Small‑business preference (SBPP) applies, and participation in electronic funds transfer and prompt‑payment discount programs is mandatory.
• Provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus with non‑alcoholic beverages and allergen info.
• Pricing must cover all ancillary supplies (paper, utensils, servers, warmers).
• Contract is open‑market, non‑statewide solicitation, with no maximum dollar cap; bids accepted continuously except within six months of the final solicitation end date.
• SBPP‑eligible firms receive preference; other firms compete on best‑value criteria (experience, references, food quality, cost).
• Required attachments include standard contract forms, EFT form, and Prompt Pay Discount form.
