About this file
This is a bid sheet and financial proposal form for the Maryland Geological Survey's Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) procurement under Invitation for Bids (IFB) BPM056983. The solicitation requests one complete ROV system with integrated components designed for underwater surveying and data collection in the Chesapeake Bay region. The system includes a base ROV with minimum 300-meter depth rating, four thrusters, enhanced 4K camera with 7,600 lumens integrated lighting, tether of 100-300 meters, two battery sets with chargers, grabber arm with 500cc sediment sampler, Doppler Velocity Log, 750kHz sonar, laser scaler, BRIDGE software, rugged weather-resistant controller, transport cases, multiple water-quality sensors (temperature/conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nitrate, chlorophyll a, and pH/ORP), GPS with heading and depth sensors, and associated accessories. A pre-bid conference was conducted on July 9, 2026, with attendance from Deep Trekker Inc., Khadfish LLC, Blueye Robotics, and Survey Equipment Services Inc. Bids are due July 22, 2026 at 2:00 PM via eMMA. The contract term is six months from Notice to Proceed with no renewal options. Deliverables include perpetual software access, system integration and customization, field testing, manufacturer training with on-site Maryland operational training preferred, freight, and optional direct or shore power connection capability.
Evaluation of proposals is based solely on lowest responsive bid price with no set-asides or MBE/VSBE participation goals. Bidders must be registered with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation; out-of-state companies must register as foreign entities and maintain a resident agent in Maryland. This is classified as a Tier 1 Living Wage contract under Maryland law for contracts valued $100,000 or more, requiring submission of a Living Wage Requirements Affidavit with bids. The bid sheet requires offerors to enter unit prices for all line items in the designated shaded areas, with total extended price used for proposal evaluation. Amendment No. 2 (July 16, 2026) revised the price form to Revision 1 and corrected SDAT registration address information; Amendment No. 3 (July 21, 2026) updated the price form to Revision 2. Written questions were due July 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM with Q&A #1 issued July 16, 2026. Emmanuel Smith (emmanuel.smith2@maryland.gov) serves as the procurement officer.
