Projectdog has been awarded a position on the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ITS-86 Software and Services Statewide Contract.

Spend less time managing the bidding process—and more time moving important public projects forward.
ITS-86 is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Statewide Contract for software and related services.
The contract gives eligible public-sector organizations access to prequalified vendors through an established Commonwealth purchasing vehicle. Instead of beginning every software procurement from the ground up, organizations can use ITS-86 to identify qualified solutions and follow the applicable statewide contract purchasing process.
For Projectdog customers, that means a more direct path to acquiring software and services designed specifically for public procurement, bidding and project-document distribution.
Purchases remain subject to the ITS-86 Contract User Guide, your organization’s procurement rules and any applicable quote or statement-of-work requirements.
Managing a public solicitation often requires staff to coordinate advertisements, registrations, plan holders, documents, addenda, questions, submissions, deadlines and bid results.
When those steps are handled manually, procurement teams can lose valuable time to repetitive administrative work.
Projectdog brings these activities together in one organized online environment.
