On April 2, 2024, the Executive Office for Administration and Finance announced the reopening of the Tradespersons Statewide Contracts to provide opportunities for local businesses to work with the state and expand the state’s network of trades businesses for public buyer organizations.
TRD01 and TRD03 reopened in May 2024, and TRD02 and TRD04 will reopen in late summer/ early fall 2024. The Operational Services Division offers detailed information to explore these Statewide Contract opportunities at mass.gov/Trades.
The move to reopen the Trades contracts was applauded by the Healey/Driscoll administration. “Reopening contracts for people in the trades creates a path for diverse and small businesses to compete for the state’s business,” said Governor Maura Healey. “We look forward to sharing additional contracting opportunities over the next fiscal year.”
