About this file
This is an Electronic Transaction Fee Appendix for a statewide firearms contract administered by the Maryland Department of General Services (DGS). The document establishes the fee structure and reporting requirements for vendors selected to provide Law Enforcement Firearms to the State of Maryland under an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The contract became effective January 2026.
Contractors must remit an electronic transaction fee equal to one percent (1%) of the total invoiced amount for all sales made under the contract during each reporting period, calculated on the gross invoice amount less returns or credits. Payment is due no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of each reporting period and may be submitted via Automated Clearing House (ACH) to the Comptroller or by check to the Department of General Services, Fiscal Services Division in Baltimore, Maryland. Contractors must simultaneously submit a Monthly Usage Report documenting all contract sales using a Microsoft Excel template to the designated email address. The electronic transaction fee must be incorporated into the contract's unit prices and cannot be charged separately to customers or identified as a line item on invoices. Failure to timely and accurately remit the electronic transaction fees constitutes default under the contract.
