About this file

This is a No Bid/Proposal Notice and Vendor Feedback Form issued by the State of Maryland for the Connector Entity Grant Application solicitation (Solicitation Number 054700). The form is designed to collect feedback from vendors and companies that choose not to submit a response to the solicitation or who wish to provide suggestions and concerns regarding the procurement process. The document provides a standardized mechanism for the State to gather market intelligence and improve the quality of future solicitations by understanding barriers to participation and identifying areas where procurement practices could be more responsive to business needs.

The form offers vendors a comprehensive list of potential reasons for non-response, including other commitments, lack of relevant experience, unclear or restrictive specifications, capacity constraints, complexity of doing business with the State, competitiveness concerns, insufficient timelines, bonding or insurance restrictions, and unfavorable prior contract experiences. Respondents are requested to provide detailed remarks explaining their circumstances and are asked to include contact information, company name, and the date of submission. The form emphasizes that it serves as a tool for continuous improvement of the State's solicitation process and requests that non-responding vendors return the completed form to the listed Procurement Officer, with an effective date of July 2024.
