GDA-315-26 Executive Search Firm for Superintendent

Baltimore County Public Schools is requesting proposals for executive search services to recruit a superintendent under RFP GDA-315-26, with sealed proposals due April 1, 2026 at 10:00 A.M. local time and a mandatory pre-proposal teleconference on March 20, 2026 at 11:00 A.M. The Board of Education has established a 15% participation goal for Minority Business and Small Business Enterprise organizations; bidders must submit Small and Minority Business Enterprise Utilization Affidavits and supporting materials with their proposals, and failure to include these required documents renders the proposal non-responsive.

The scope covers superintendent recruitment and executive search services, classified under NIGP commodity code 80111701 (Staff Recruiting Services). Attendance at the pre-proposal meeting requires confirmation through a designated response form. Solicitation documents became available March 18, 2026 through a request form submission process with delivery within eight business hours. Questions are due before the April 1 proposal deadline, though the exact question-due date is not specified in the source. The Board reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive informalities in the solicitation process.
