Adobe Acrobat Pro

The Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is conducting a Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) for Adobe Acrobat Pro software licenses, specifically seeking 400 enterprise subscription licenses for a 12-month term from January 23, 2025 to January 22, 2026. The procurement (BPM047608) is focused on obtaining software licenses for Adobe Acrobat Pro, covering Functional Areas I (COTS Software) and III (Manufacturer's Software Maintenance), with the potential for installation and training services not exceeding 49% of the total PORFP value. Proposals must be submitted through Maryland's eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) system or via password-protected email by December 27, 2024 at 12:00 PM EST, with all vendor questions due by December 18, 2024 at 5:00 PM EST. The place of performance is located at DHCD's office at 7800 Harkins Road, Lanham, MD 20607. Vendors must be able to provide a monthly subscription for one user, specifically configured for large government agencies with 10,000+ users, using the Adobe Inc. part number 210-3212-L9-13BC09A12.

This procurement is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement, which means it is exclusively limited to certified small business vendors that meet Maryland's statutory requirements. Additionally, the solicitation is only open to Master Contractors who have been previously awarded under the Commercial Off-the-Shelf Software (COTS 2012) contract 060B2490021, significantly narrowing the pool of potential bidders. While specific award values are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement involves 400 enterprise licenses for a 12-month period, suggesting a substantial but not precisely quantified contract value. The procurement appears to be part of a strategic technology refresh or standardization effort for the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development's software infrastructure. The specific Adobe Acrobat Pro licenses are configured at Level 9 for large government agencies, indicating a high-tier, comprehensive software solution tailored to meet extensive government enterprise requirements.
