About this file
This file contains urgent questions regarding a solicitation issued by the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) for Canopy Demand Report Analysis and Market Modeling services. The MCA is seeking a qualified third-party vendor to compile, analyze, and present cannabis canopy demand data and market modeling in a comprehensive, policy-relevant format to fulfill statutory reporting requirements under Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis Article 36-802. The primary deliverable is a comprehensive report assessing the adequacy of cannabis supply in relation to market demand, which must be submitted to the Maryland General Assembly on or before December 31, 2026. The vendor's analysis will directly support MCA's licensing decisions and policy development initiatives. The proposal submission deadline is April 9, 2026.
The procurement is mandated by state statute and serves critical regulatory and legislative functions for Maryland's cannabis administration. The vendor must demonstrate specialized capability in cannabis market analysis and regulatory reporting to effectively execute this engagement. No contract value, budget range, contract term length, evaluation criteria, or pre-proposal meeting information has been specified in the available source materials. The report's completion date of December 31, 2026, provides the vendor with a defined timeline for delivering the statutory analysis required by the General Assembly.
