The State of Maryland's Department of Information Technology (DoIT) issued Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) FC0001441 B for Last Mile Access Data Services (Functional Area III) connectivity at Site #304 in Bel Air, Maryland, located at 545 Marketplace Drive in Harford County. This procurement seeks data telecommunications services under Master Contract F50B4400028, providing last mile connectivity from state aggregation points to designated termination locations. The solicitation requires the selected contractor to deliver reliable network connectivity with a minimum of 99.7% end-to-end network availability and maintain 24/7/365 maintenance support services. Key deliverables include connection services, monthly recurring charges, applicable taxes and surcharges, connection fees, and special construction costs as proposed by the contractor. The evaluation will be based solely on the lowest proposed price for this specific location, with all pricing remaining valid for 120 days. The original PORFP was issued on March 5, 2026, with a response deadline of March 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST; however, this opportunity has been cancelled as posted on April 6, 2026. Proposals were required to be submitted via email through eMMA, and upon award, the State would have issued a Notice to Proceed with a four-year contract term commencing from the NTP date, including a transition-in period not to exceed 60 days and key personnel to be furnished within 30 days of NTP.

This procurement contains no minority business enterprise (MBE) goal requirements, and no specific set-aside designations are indicated for disadvantaged or specialized enterprise categories. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available solicitation documents. The procurement requires integration with the state's existing "networkMaryland" infrastructure, as invoices must identify networkMaryland as the recipient and meet specific formatting requirements established by the state. Contractors must also comply with the Work Order process for service modifications and accommodate bandwidth adjustments within the general scope of the PORFP. Failure to meet service provisioning, availability, and restoration requirements would subject the contractor to liquidated damages as defined in the Master Contract. No budget or award value is specified in the available solicitation materials; pricing was to be determined competitively based on individual contractor proposals for this location.
