About this file
Exhibit 1 is a research factors template from Maryland's procurement process for the Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Program, solicitation number BPM050983. The document outlines the state's assessment of Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE), and Small Business Reserve (SBR) participation opportunities for the contract. The procurement seeks a contractor to design and conduct a comprehensive impact and process evaluation of the statewide RESEA program, with a proposal submission deadline of May 29, 2025, and an initial contract posting date of April 29, 2025.
The document provides detailed research on potential business participation, identifying specific NAICS and UNSPSC codes relevant to the project. For MBE participation, the research reveals 1 certified business in Business Research and Development Services and 144 in Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling. VSBE research indicates 8 businesses in feasibility studies and 19 in project monitoring and evaluation. The solicitation strongly encourages small businesses to submit proposals as prime contractors, with SBR certification required for secondary competition agreement awards. The evaluation aims to demonstrate a causal relationship between program activities and participant outcomes, specifically focusing on reemployment rates and median earnings, in alignment with federal Unemployment Insurance Program Letter (UIPL) No. 01-20 guidelines.
