Facility-Wide Decontamination Services

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for Facility-Wide Decontamination Services across multiple Maryland facilities, targeting comprehensive decontamination of biological, infectious, and hazardous chemical materials. The procurement covers decontamination services for facility buildings, police detachments, vehicles, and roadways, with contractors required to provide services within 4 hours of request on a 24/7/365 basis. Bidders must meet extensive qualification requirements, including demonstrated experience, specific certifications, personnel qualifications, and equipment specifications. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for March 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with both in-person and virtual attendance options. Potential vendors must submit questions by March 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and final bids are due by March 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced, responsive, and responsible bidder, with pricing to be submitted on a provided bid worksheet form that includes fully-loaded rates covering all associated costs. The contract term is set for 18 months from the effective date.

The solicitation is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement, which means the contract award will initially be limited to certified small business vendors, though this designation may be removed if insufficient small business interest is received. While no specific Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation goals are established, minority businesses are encouraged to respond. The procurement covers Baltimore City and potentially other Maryland jurisdictions where MDTA operates facilities. Although specific budget ranges or contract values are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the decontamination services suggests a significant operational requirement. The contract's broad scope, covering multiple facility types and requiring rapid response capabilities, indicates a potentially substantial investment in maintaining the safety and cleanliness of Maryland Transportation Authority infrastructure.
