About this file
Amendment 5 is an official document issued by the Maryland Department of General Services, Office of State Procurement, for Invitation for Bid (IFB) Number BPM048024/DGSR5600026 related to an Oils, Grease and Lubricants contract. The amendment, dated March 26, 2025, addresses two specific bidder questions: the first regarding the acceptance of private label/house brands meeting API/ILSAC certifications, and the second providing a link to Attachment F (Bidder Information Sheet). The amendment clarifies that any corrections made through amendments supersede the original specifications in the Invitation for Bid documents.
The document provides two key responses: (1) the state will now consider private label/house brands that meet or exceed API/ILSAC certifications, which represents a modification from the original prohibition on such brands, and (2) a direct link to the previously hard-to-access Attachment F is provided. Bidders are instructed to post any additional questions in the Discussion + Q&A forum in eMMA. The amendment demonstrates the state's commitment to clear communication and flexibility in the procurement process, allowing potential vendors to seek clarification and ensuring all bidders have access to necessary documentation.

AMENDMENT 5
DATE: March 26, 2025
STATE OF MARYLAND
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
Office of State Procurement
IFB NUMBER: BPM048024 / DGSR5600026
CONTRACT TITLE: Oils, Grease and Lubricants
ATTENTION ALL BIDDERS:
The following questions have been received in regard to this solicitation:
Q1. I do have one last question with which perhaps you can give me some direction.
In Section 2.3 (D) (p. 7 of Bid Documents), it is clearly stated that no private label/house brands will be accepted. In Amendment 2, in answer to my question about brand name
Amalie/Wolf's Head Oil, it is stated "Brands which meet or exceed the current
API/ILSAC certifications as well as the specified criteria as listed in the solicitation shall be considered by the State." Does this answer allow for the State to accept private label/house brands which meet or exceed the API/ILSAC certifications? I realize that the deadline for questions is over but the Amendment 2 answer made me wonder whether there may be exceptions to the prohibition on private label brands previously stated in the
Bid.
A1. Any corrections to the IFB addressed via amendment supersede the specifications in the
IFB.
Q2. I have attempted several times to access Attachment F. Bidder Information Sheet. I realize you mentioned in Amendment 3 that Attachment F was able to be accessed but it is not working for me. I was allowed to open L, M & N from Amendment 3 but not F.
Can you send a link for Attachment F?
A2. The link for Attachment F may be found here: https://procurement.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2024/07/Attachment-F.-Bidder-Offeror-Information-Sheet.pdf
For any questions please post in the Discussion + Q&A forum in eMMA.
