The market, honestly.
Massachusetts pairs Hanscom AFB and Natick with one of the country's strongest civilian state buying programs. Boston metro civilian agency demand drives the volume.
Academic and hospital research, biotechnology, defense electronics along Route 128, and a naval and Coast Guard presence on the coast.
For waste & recycling specifically in Massachusetts, our model is direct: AXA South responds to the solicitation, holds the contract, and runs the program. Local crews and licensed trade partners in Massachusetts perform the work that requires their license or specialized credentials.
Hanscom AFB is an acquisition center rather than an operational base, so it buys programs and services more than commodities. The Operational Services Division runs statewide contracts that cities, towns, and school districts can also use, which makes a single OSD contract unusually valuable.
State fiscal year ends June 30. Because municipalities buy off statewide contracts year-round, an OSD award produces a steadier order stream than a typical state contract. The federal fiscal year closes September 30, so August and September carry the heaviest volume of simplified-acquisition and micro-purchase activity at every installation in the state.
Massachusetts operates the Supplier Diversity Program with MBE, WBE, veteran, disability, and LGBTBE certifications and enforced participation plans on most statewide contracts.
Bidding a Massachusetts statewide contract without capacity to serve 351 municipalities. Statewide contract holders are expected to accept orders from any eligible entity, and repeated refusals end the contract.
