About this file
This document is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Veteran-owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE), and Small Business Reserve (SBR) Research Factors Template prepared by the State of Maryland for the Federal Worker Loan Programs – IT and Customer Support Services solicitation (LABOR-FY2027-019). The template summarizes the State's analysis of anticipated participation opportunities for minority-owned, veteran-owned, and small businesses in the procurement contract and identified subcontracting opportunities. The research identifies relevant North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes and United Nations Standard Products and Services Codes (UNSPSC) categories associated with the project scope, which involves building and maintaining individual management software solutions to provide financial assistance to eligible current and former federal employees under the Protect Our Federal Workers Act of 2025.
The research findings indicate significant availability of certified businesses across the relevant categories: 2,523 MBEs in Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (NAICS 541611), 1,558 MBEs in Computer System Design Services (NAICS 541512), and 1,082 MBEs in software-related services; 45 VSBEs in Software (eMMA Category 43230000), 16 VSBEs in Application Programming Services, and 9 VSBEs in Software Application Administrative Services; and 270 SBRs in Software, 93 SBRs in Application Programming Services, and 49 SBRs in Software Application Administration Services. The solicitation encourages small businesses to submit proposals as prime contractors to compete at the secondary competition level, with SBR certification required for SBR-designated secondary competition agreement awards. The template clarifies that the research results are not exhaustive and do not preclude offerors from identifying additional subcontracting opportunities.
