FAC116, Category 8 - DCR/DWSP Battery Landscape Equipment RFQ

The Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Water Supply Protection, is seeking quotes for a procurement of battery-powered landscape equipment under the statewide FAC116, Category 8 contract, through Request for Quotes BD-26-1020-DCRWS-DC700-129708. The equipment includes specific Stihl models such as battery chainsaws, pruners, blowers, compressors, battery packs, chargers, and sprayers, totaling ten distinct items required in specified quantities, all of which must be fully assembled, serviced, oiled, and ready for immediate use. Proposals must be submitted exclusively via the Commbuys portal by 2:00 PM on May 29, 2026, with responses including a formal quote document and accurate pricing entered into the system’s Items tab. Delivery must be completed by June 30, 2026, to 180 Beaman Street, West Boylston, MA, under F.O.B. destination terms, meaning the vendor bears all costs and risks until receipt by the government. Evaluation of submissions is based on three weighted factors: the ability to meet the delivery deadline (50%), conformance to exact equipment specifications (25%), and cost (25%), with award determined through a trade-off process rather than lowest price technically acceptable. The point of contact for procurement is Christy Raillo, who also serves as the designated recipient for delivery and billing, with remittance addressed to the same location. No formal contract clauses, packaging requirements, inspection standards beyond model-specific compliance, or socioeconomic representations are specified in the documentation. Vendors are expected to register through Commbuys, likely requiring a UEI, though no additional certifications or representations are mandated beyond standard participation in the state contract. Funding details, accounting codes, and invoicing specifics are not provided, leaving the post-award financial process unclear.
