This is a Research Factors Exhibit for a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) for Evaluation, Measurement, and Verification of Energy Efficiency Program Services under solicitation number BPM050608. The exhibit documents the state's analysis of minority business participation opportunities within the proposed contract scope. The contractor will provide energy consulting services to support DHCD's EmPower Maryland Program, which focuses on ensuring Maryland citizens have access to safe and affordable housing through energy efficiency initiatives. The document identifies subcontracting opportunities across multiple service categories and establishes baseline data regarding certified business availability to inform bidding strategies and participation goals.

The exhibit presents research findings across three participation categories: Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE), and Small Business Reserve (SBR) designations. MBE research identified 498 certified firms in Other Scientific and Technical Consulting for energy work, 449 in general management consulting, and 156 in administrative management consulting, with 65 additional MBEs identified through energy consulting keywords. VSBE research identified 42 certified firms available for energy or utility consulting services, with additional availability across energy conservation, economic analysis, market research, and social development categories. SBR research identified similar availability with 42 certified firms for energy consulting, 21 for energy conservation, and additional capacity across related categories. The exhibit explicitly encourages small businesses to submit proposals as prime contractors for SBR-designated secondary competition agreements, with SBR certification required for award eligibility.
