About this file
This is a No Bid/Proposal Notice and Vendor Feedback Form used by the State of Maryland for the Statewide Cybersecurity Resources solicitation. The form serves a dual purpose: it allows vendors who have chosen not to submit a response to indicate their reasons for non-participation, and it provides an optional feedback mechanism for vendors who have submitted proposals to offer suggestions or express concerns about the solicitation. The form includes a comprehensive checklist of common reasons for non-response, including other commitments, lack of relevant experience, unclear specifications, capacity limitations, complexity of doing business with the state, inability to compete, insufficient timeframes, restrictive bonding or insurance requirements, unreasonable bid requirements, MBE or VSBE requirement concerns, prior unsatisfactory state contract experience, slow payment schedules, and other factors. Vendors are requested to complete the form with their company name, contact person information, address, and email, and to return it to the Procurement Officer if they are not submitting a proposal or if they wish to provide feedback alongside their submission.
The form is designed to gather actionable intelligence from the vendor community to improve the quality and responsiveness of Maryland's procurement process. By capturing data on why vendors decline to participate, the state aims to identify systemic barriers to competition and opportunities for streamlining solicitation procedures. The form is particularly valuable for understanding vendor concerns related to specification clarity, bonding requirements, payment terms, and the administrative burden of state procurement. The effective date of this form is July 2024, indicating it reflects current Maryland procurement practices.
