Description
The Department of Fire Services (DFS) is seeking vendors to supply a broad range of published materials—including books, textbooks, reference titles, subscriptions, audio‑visual media, and online course content—under a rolling‑enrollment, open‑market solicitation. The contract will be awarded to multiple vendors on a best‑price basis, with a preference for Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) participants, and will run for an initial three‑year term with two optional two‑year extensions. Vendors must submit a detailed price list showing a percentage discount off the lowest manufacturer’s list price, provide required compliance forms (W‑9, EFT, Prompt‑Pay, Non‑Collusion, etc.), and agree to FOB destination delivery to the DFS location in Stow, MA.
• Scope covers all formats of books and related published materials, including print, electronic, audio‑visual, and online course items.
• Rolling‑enrollment allows submissions after the initial June 20 2021 deadline; contracts may be awarded on a continuous basis.
• Preference given to SBPP‑eligible small businesses; multiple vendors may be awarded and contracts expire simultaneously.
• Required attachments include tax and banking forms, prompt‑pay discount disclosure, and a non‑collusion certification.
