Attachment K - Hardware Mercury Affidavit.pdf

This is a Hardware Mercury Affidavit document supporting Maryland Department of Transportation's (MDOT) HPE Carepaq Support Annual Renewal for Fiscal Year 2026. The affidavit serves as a compliance attestation related to the procurement of HPE Carepaq support services for enterprise-wide implementation across MDOT. The document functions as a supporting exhibit to the main contract opportunity, addressing specific hardware-related requirements and certifications necessary for vendor qualification and contract award consideration.

The affidavit requires vendors to attest to compliance with hardware-related standards, specifications, or environmental requirements associated with the HPE Carepaq support services being procured. As a supporting document rather than a standalone solicitation, this affidavit does not independently establish pricing terms, quantities, response dates, or contract duration; instead, it works in conjunction with the primary contract opportunity documents to ensure vendors meet all specified requirements for the annual renewal contract. Vendors responding to the MDOT HPE Carepaq support opportunity must complete and submit this affidavit as part of their bid package to demonstrate compliance with all stated requirements and to proceed to contract award consideration.
