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 an Invitation for Bid (IFB) regarding janitorial services for the Nancy S. Grasmick Education Building, a state-owned facility located at 200 West Baltimore Street in Baltimore, Maryland. The building houses approximately 900 employees. The research factors template outlines the state's analysis of subcontracting opportunities and certified business participation across multiple classifications relevant to the janitorial services procurement.

The document identifies 208 certified MBEs in Maryland's Department of General Services directory under NAICS Code 561720 (Janitorial Services) available for prime contracting or subcontracting opportunities. For VSBE participation, no specific directory count is provided in the template. For SBR participation at the secondary competition level, the state identified 293 certified small businesses in the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) directory under category code 7610000 (Janitorial Services). The document explicitly encourages small businesses to submit bids as prime contractors to compete for SBR-designated secondary competition agreement awards, noting that SBR certification is required to receive such awards. This research summary is intended to guide bidders in identifying additional subcontracting opportunities beyond those specifically highlighted.
