The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Correction is establishing a qualified‑vendor list to supply a range of flag‑making raw materials, blanks, accessories, and related services for its correctional facilities. Vendors must meet detailed product specifications (e.g., heavy‑duty nylon, polyester, cotton bunting, embroidered flag fields), provide pricing (catalog‑price discount, cost‑plus, or early‑payment discounts), and adhere to delivery, security, and insurance requirements. The contract is a one‑year rate contract with up to fifteen one‑year renewal options, allowing multiple awardees and requiring compliance with prompt‑payment discount, supplier‑diversity, and environmentally preferable product criteria.
• Supply flag fabric (nylon, polyester, cotton) in specified colors and widths.
• Provide flag blanks (classroom and cemetery sizes) and embroidery services for U.S. flag stars.
• Deliver accessories such as duck halyards, rawhide netting, white mesh, and related items to multiple correctional institutions.
• Meet strict delivery windows (within 15 Commonwealth business days), security clearances, insurance coverage, and documentation (W‑9, EFT, SDP, PPD, signatory listing).
