About this file
This document is a No Bid/Proposal Notice and Vendor Feedback Form for the State of Maryland, designed to gather information from vendors who elect not to submit a response to a solicitation or who wish to provide feedback on the procurement process. The form relates to a two-year janitorial services invitation for bid (IFB) for the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) District 2 Office located at 615 Morgnec Road in Chestertown, Maryland on the Eastern Shore. The scope of work requires janitorial services on Tuesdays and Fridays (excluding state holidays) with a minimum crew size of two people working a minimum of four hours per day, aligning with the facility's operating hours of 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM. An in-person facility tour is mandatory prior to bid opening and can be scheduled by emailing btarr@mdot.maryland.gov. The estimated contract start date is September 6, 2026.
The vendor feedback form lists multiple reasons why vendors may decline to bid, including other commitments, lack of experience, unclear or restrictive specifications, insufficient capacity, complexity of state procurement processes, competitive concerns, insufficient time for proposal preparation, restrictive bonding or insurance requirements, unsatisfactory prior state contract experience, and slow payment schedules. Vendors are invited to complete the form and submit it to the Procurement Officer, whose contact information is available on the Key Information Summary Sheet. The SHA will provide trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, hand soap, and deodorizers, while vendors must supply their own equipment, supplies, and staff training. Vendors are responsible for maintaining sign-in and sign-out sheets to document employee hours.
