The state of Maryland has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for FY 2025 Athletic Transportation Services. The RFP seeks proposals for transportation services to support the state's athletic programs and events during the 2025 fiscal year. The contract will provide charter bus and other transportation options for student-athletes, coaches, and staff to travel to competitions, tournaments, and other athletic activities. Responses to the RFP are due by August 5, 2024, and the contract term is for one year, with options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. A mandatory bidder's conference is scheduled for March 15, 2024, and site visits will be arranged upon request. The RFP outlines specific pricing terms, including requirements for all-inclusive rates per vehicle type and mileage.

The state has set aside a portion of the contract for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). The current provider of these transportation services is ABC Transportation, whose contract expires at the end of FY 2024. Funding for the FY 2025 contract will be provided through the state's athletic department budget, with an estimated annual value of $2.5 million.
