TCL UNION FY27-28 CHAINSAW SAFETY

Solicitation BD-27-1056-OER-HRDOE-134184 is a request for quotes issued by the Massachusetts Office of Employee Relations, Human Resources Division, to provide a standalone instructor-led Chainsaw Certificate/Safety course. The training is intended for 20 to 30 Unit 2 state employees and may include optional add-on topics such as storm cleanup. The contract is designated as a blanket purchase with a performance period effective from October 22, 2026, through June 30, 2028. This opportunity is set aside for the Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP), with a strong preference for participants who meet the best value criteria. To qualify for SBPP status, businesses must be located in Massachusetts, have been in operation for at least one year, employ 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees, and have average gross revenues of $15 million or less. Proposals must be submitted via Commbuys by October 21, 2026, and must include the price per cohort, learning objectives, course length, and the maximum number of participants. Award decisions will be based on best value, and non-SBPP participants will only be evaluated if no eligible SBPP bidder meets the requirements.
