About this file
This file is an MBE Search Factors exhibit from the State of Maryland's Department of Transportation, prepared in conjunction with the Governor's Office of Small, Minority, and Women's Business Affairs for the Environmental, Testing and Inspection Services On-call Master Contract 2025 solicitation. The exhibit serves as a summary of factors used to determine expected participation levels for Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs), Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprises (VSBEs), and Small Business Reserves (SBRs) in the procurement contract and potential subcontracting opportunities. The document outlines subcontracting opportunities in environmental consulting, testing laboratories (air monitoring and lab services), and geotechnical engineering services, with applicable NAICS codes identified for each category. The contract is structured as a statewide master contract where secondary competition may occur through task orders or purchase orders.
The research identifies substantial MBE participation opportunities, with 230 certified MBEs available for environmental consulting services (NAICS 541620) and 87 certified MBEs each for testing laboratories air monitoring, lab services, and geotechnical engineering (all under NAICS 541380). The document specifies that for statewide master contracts, Small Business Reserve participation expectations apply to secondary competition agreements rather than the primary master contract. The exhibit includes a disclaimer noting that the research results are not all-inclusive and do not exclude other subcontracting opportunities that bidders may identify in their proposals. The effective date for these search factors is July 2024, and the document references both NAICS codes for MBE opportunities and UNSPSC codes for VSBE and SBR classifications.
