The Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (HLC) for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has issued an invitation-only Request for Quotes (RFQ BD-27-1076-OCDDE-CS002-130229) to procure branded promotional products for FY2027 community outreach and engagement activities. This solicitation is restricted to vendors currently on the OFF48 Statewide Contract for promotional products.

Category 2 allows vendors to propose up to three creative alternative products that align with HLC's mission regarding housing and the built environment.
The contract term runs from the effective date through June 30, 2027, with a target delivery date for products by October 30, 2026. Bids are evaluated based on best value, considering price, responsiveness to specifications, product quality, and delivery timelines, with a preference given to SBPP-participating small businesses for contracts under $250,000. All responses must be submitted via the COMMBUYS portal. While the initial deadline was August 17, 2026, subsequent amendments extended the response deadline to August 28, 2026, and introduced a Q&A period. Awardees must comply with Massachusetts data protection laws and EOTSS security standards, and the agency reserves the right to award the contract to one or multiple vendors.
