Description

The Massachusetts Veterans Home at Holyoke seeks experienced entertainment providers to deliver on‑site performances for its veteran residents. The solicitation is open to Massachusetts‑based vendors, with a strong preference for small‑business participants under the SBPP program. Contractors must submit a rate‑per‑session fee and be able to perform on short notice, bringing their own equipment and complying with infection‑prevention policies. • Provide live entertainment (music, magic, dance, slide shows, etc.) in 60‑120 minute sessions, on an as‑needed basis. • Submit a single “rate per session” fee; invoices are to be submitted electronically after each performance. • Contract term is 5 years with one optional 5‑year renewal (maximum 10 years), with payment via EFT within 45 days of invoice receipt. • Preference given to SBPP‑eligible small businesses; vendors must meet Massachusetts‑based eligibility criteria and may submit a Prompt Pay Discount form if desired.

Budget estimate

$50,000 – $200,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract value, but the service is limited to on‑demand performances with a modest per‑session rate (typically $200‑$500). Assuming an average of 2 sessions per month over a 5‑year term yields roughly 120 sessions per year, or 600 sessions total. At $200‑$500 per session, the contract value would range from $120,000 to $300,000. Accounting for variability and the SBPP ceiling (≤ $250,000), a realistic estimate is $50,000‑$200,000 over the contract life.
