Scope of work
The Massachusetts Convention Center Authority seeks commercial real estate advisory and brokerage services for its property portfolio and future acquisitions, dispositions and leases. Work includes portfolio and market assessments, valuations and cost analyses, marketing materials, transaction negotiation support and presentations, assigned through individual task orders with no guaranteed volume. Firms and day-to-day supervisors need at least ten years of relevant experience, and firms must maintain a staffed Massachusetts office open five days a week. At least two proposed team members must hold Massachusetts brokerage licenses. Proposals require an SDP commitment of at least 3%. The required agreement supports a three-year initial term from February 1, 2027 with up to two one-year extensions, subject to the documented term interpretation below. Submit electronically through COMMBUYS by November 30, 2026 at the stated 12:00 PM; the source does not specify a timezone.

Documents & addenda
Source notes
- Term discrepancy retained: RFR section 2.3 states January 31, 2030 and three one-year extensions; Appendix C section 1.5 says a three-year term from February 1, 2027 but prints October 31, 2029 and allows two extensions. This listing follows the mandatory agreement under RFR 4.1, its integration clause 1.4, and the higher-contractual-requirement rule in 1.3 for the full three-year term. This is a clause-based interpretation, not an issuer amendment.
- The response deadline is stated as November 30, 2026 at 12:00 PM without a deadline timezone. The directory retains date precision and does not infer Eastern time from the location or helpdesk hours.
- Task orders are discretionary and no work volume is guaranteed. The initial $1 million ceiling is an aggregate allocation if multiple agreements are awarded, not a guaranteed award value for each firm.
- Current providers of commercial real estate advisory or brokerage services to the Authority and firms with potentially adverse related engagements are excluded under RFR 4.1. A staffed Massachusetts office, experience requirements and the minimum 3% SDP commitment remain applicable.
- The current public COMMBUYS page shows four attachments and the October 13 amendment adding proposal forms. No public Bid Q&A controls or separately posted answers were exposed; bidders must monitor the official record for addenda and account-visible Q&A.
- The public MCCA issuer listing confirms the same deadline and directs submissions to COMMBUYS. Its separate print/detail link could not be fully retrieved during the bounded check; no missing document or alternate deadline is inferred.
- The intentionally blank final RFR page retains an unrelated human-resources solicitation footer; the substantive commercial real estate identifier and scope are consistent.
- Updated source content is awaiting verification. This notice is excluded from open results.
