About this file
This appendix establishes the electronic transaction fee requirements for a Maryland Department of General Services (DGS) statewide contract effective February 2026. The contractor must remit a monthly electronic transaction fee equal to one percent (1%) of the total approved invoice amount for all accepted goods and services provided during each reporting period. The fee is calculated on the gross invoice amount minus any returns or credits and must be submitted no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each monthly reporting period. The contractor is prohibited from charging this fee directly to customers or identifying it as a separate line item on invoices; instead, the fee must be incorporated into the contract's unit prices.
The contractor may submit the electronic transaction fee through two methods: via ACH transfer using the GAD X-10 Form submitted to the Comptroller at GADACH@marylandtaxes.gov with a note in the comments section indicating "DGS 1% Fee," or by check mailed to the Department of General Services, Fiscal Services Division at 301 W. Preston Street, Room 1309, Baltimore, MD 21201. Simultaneously with payment, the contractor must email the completed Attachment Z - Monthly Usage Report documenting all accepted goods or services for the reporting period to dgs.statewidecontractsusagereport@maryland.gov. Failure to timely and accurately remit the electronic transaction fees constitutes default under the contract.
