How to respond to the Massachusetts State Police job task analysis and entrance exam RFI

What the State Police is seeking

The Massachusetts Department of State Police is seeking information about a job task analysis and entrance exam. The agency plans to use the information to help prepare a future contract solicitation.

This is a Request for Information, not a request for bids or a contract. Vendors can use it to share relevant information and understand the agency’s potential future needs.

Deadline and what it means

The RFI was published October 19, 2026. The deadline is November 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET.

Because this is an RFI, the deadline is for responding to the information request, not submitting a bid for a contract. Check the bid documents for the response directions and make sure to follow them by the deadline.

Who may find this relevant

This opportunity may suit professional-services firms with experience in job task analysis or entrance exams. The notice does not identify specific qualifications or required experience, so review the attachments for details.

How to access the RFI and respond

Open the full bid on COMMBUYS by selecting “View original source.” Viewing the bid and downloading its documents do not require an account. Check the Attachments tab for the full documents.

To submit electronically, register for a free COMMBUYS vendor account. The notice also says to follow the submission directions in the bid if you are not quoting electronically. The listed point of contact is Brian Kearnan at [email protected].

Prepare a clear, useful response

Read the attachments and response directions closely before drafting. Since the RFI is intended to inform a future solicitation, explain your relevant capabilities and offer specific, useful information about the job task analysis or entrance exam.

Separate established facts from estimates or recommendations, and make your response easy to review. Allow time to complete any required COMMBUYS sign-in or submit by the stated deadline.
