Public buyers typically advertise this kind of work as an Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposals (RFP), or Request for Qualifications (RFQ), depending on whether the selection is price-driven, qualifications-driven, or both.

How to respond to this IFB

To submit a bid for this IFB, review the full solicitation documents for City of Cambridge Purchasing's exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the July 23, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Vendors that have not previously contracted with City of Cambridge Purchasing should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
