AWARDED PORFP R99P6601258 Cisco Meraki Security Cameras and Licenses

The Maryland School for the Deaf has awarded PORFP R99P6601258 for Cisco Meraki security cameras and licenses on July 2, 2026; this solicitation is closed to new bidders. The procurement was limited to certified small business vendors and required bidders to be Hardware Master Contractors under contract 060B2490022, a restrictive eligibility gate that eliminated two of four proposals.

The scope comprises 14 Meraki MV93X 360 fisheye lens outdoor cameras with 1 TB storage, 3 Meraki MV23X 8MP indoor dome cameras with 1 TB storage, and 17 Meraki MV Enterprise Licenses with one-year support. Equipment delivery was due June 30, 2026, with place of performance at 101 Clarke Place, Frederick, Maryland.

Advanced Computer Concepts Inc won with a total bid of $29,917.38. The other compliant bidder, Applied Technology Services Inc, submitted $32,273.00. Two bids were rejected: Axiom Group, LLC lacked Master Contractor status, and En-Net Services, LLC quoted an incorrect camera model (MV93-HW instead of MV93X-HW). Evaluation ranked lowest responsible bid first, followed by verification of Master Contractor status and, as a preference, certified small business status.

Bidders were required to submit manufacturer's suggested retail price documentation, estimated ship dates and lead times, Conflict of Interest and Mercury Affidavits, and Business in Good Standing certifications. Pricing had to remain valid for at least 90 days after the June 26, 2026 proposal due date. All equipment had to be new and unused with no restocking fees for damage or incorrect shipment. The original proposal due date was June 26, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT, with questions due June 19, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EDT.
