About this file

This is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE), and Small Business Reserve (SBR) Research Factors Template for the State of Maryland's Statewide Cyber Security Resources solicitation (eMMA Solicitation No. BPM057598). The document outlines the state's analysis of subcontracting opportunities and the availability of certified businesses in relevant industries to support the primary procurement contract. The research identifies subcontracting opportunities across multiple service categories including computer disaster recovery services, computer system design services, custom computer programming services, software and hardware engineering, management information systems, system administration services, disaster recovery services, risk management services, and compliance software.

The research indicates substantial availability of certified businesses across all identified categories. MBE participation opportunities were analyzed using NAICS codes, identifying 1 MBE in computer disaster recovery services, 1,418 MBEs in computer system design services, and 1,186 MBEs in custom computer programming services, along with keyword-based research showing 75 MBEs in cyber-related services, 45 in risk management, and 58 in compliance. VSBE research by eMMA category codes identified between 8 and 60 certified VSBEs across various service categories, with the highest concentration in risk management consultation services (60 VSBEs). SBR research revealed significantly higher availability, ranging from 40 to 182 certified SBRs across service categories, with the highest concentration in risk management consultation services (182 SBRs). The state encourages small businesses to submit bids as prime contractors for SBR-designated secondary competition agreements, which requires SBR certification for award eligibility.
