Description
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources is establishing a master contract to create a qualified pool of veterinarians who can provide routine, specialized, and emergency animal‑health services for the state. Vendors may submit a rolling electronic quote that remains valid for 90 days, and the contract can be extended up to ten years with two three‑year renewal options. The procurement is open‑market, non‑statewide, and small‑business‑eligible, with a maximum annual spend of less than $10 k per vendor.
• Scope includes large‑animal, small‑animal, poultry, and shelter‑medicine services, as well as disease‑specific programs (e.g., Johne’s) and emergency outbreak response.
• Qualified applicants must hold a current Massachusetts veterinary license; federal accreditation is optional but may enhance competitiveness.
• Submissions are made through COMMBUYS; required attachments include a completed Application Form (Attachment A) and any supporting documentation.
• The contract uses a maximum‑obligation model with a standard 45‑day EFT payment cycle and a minimum 90‑day quote validity period.
