Solicitation No. 2025-MBI-11
Massachusetts Technology Collaborative’s (“MassTech”) Residential Retrofit Program (the “Program”) will make a transformational capital investment in the infrastructure needed to support delivery of high-speed internet in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Affordable Housing developments.
The Program will fund the purchase and installation of broadband infrastructure in public housing and Affordable Housing buildings. Infrastructure may include fiber from the street to the building, in-building wiring and in-unit termination. Eligible expenses are fully defined in section 4 of this Request or Proposals (“RFP”).
MassTech’s objective with this Program is to address factors that have inhibited market investment by Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”) in improving infrastructure to and within Affordable Housing developments across the state. By offering capital funds, MassTech seeks to enable ISPs to offer reliable, high-speed broadband service in Affordable Housing buildings.
