About this file

This document is a No Bid/Proposal Notice and Vendor Feedback Form issued by the State of Maryland, effective July 2024, designed to collect information from vendors who choose not to respond to solicitations or wish to provide constructive feedback on the procurement process. The form serves as a mechanism to help the State improve the quality of its solicitations and make its procurement process more responsive and business-friendly. Vendors who decline to submit a response are encouraged to complete and return this form to the Procurement Officer listed in the Key Information Summary Sheet, either by email or fax. The form is associated with solicitation QAEXCA29SB, a small business reserve opportunity in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, for excavating services requiring labor hours for excavator equipment with one operator meeting specific equipment specifications (18-ton minimum weight with 18-foot minimum reach and scoop bucket 24-inch-wide).

The form identifies multiple potential reasons for non-response, including other commitments, lack of relevant experience, unclear or restrictive specifications, insufficient capacity, complexity of doing business with the State, inability to compete on price, insufficient time for bid/proposal preparation, restrictive bonding or insurance requirements, unreasonable bid requirements, MBE or VSBE compliance concerns, unsatisfactory prior State contract experience, and slow payment schedules. The solicitation explicitly prohibits subcontracting and equipment rental; bidders must own the excavator and perform the work directly. Vendors submitting responses but wishing to express concerns may use the remarks section to provide feedback. The form requires completion with vendor name, contact person, phone number, address, email address, and date of submission.
