About this file
This is a No Bid/Proposal Notice and Vendor Feedback Form issued by the State of Maryland for solicitation MLT2032-01, which is a Multi-Step Invitation for Bids (MS-IFB) for Materials Laboratory Testing Services for the State Highway Administration (SHA). The form is designed to gather feedback from vendors who have chosen not to submit a bid or proposal, or from those who have submitted but wish to offer suggestions or express concerns. The document provides a standardized template for vendors to indicate reasons for non-participation, ranging from other commitments and lack of expertise to concerns about specifications, bonding requirements, cost competitiveness, payment schedules, and state contracting complexity. Vendors are encouraged to provide detailed remarks explaining their decision not to bid or offering recommendations for improving future solicitations.
The form serves as a mechanism to improve the quality of Maryland's procurement process by making it more responsive and business-friendly. Vendors must return the completed form via email or fax to the Procurement Officer referenced in the Key Information Summary Sheet if they choose not to respond to the solicitation. The feedback collected through this form enables the State to identify barriers to competition, clarify specifications, streamline requirements, and address concerns that may be preventing qualified vendors from participating in state contracts. All responses must include the vendor's company name, contact person, phone number, address, and email address for follow-up communication.
