Getac (OTMO)

The Maryland State Highway Administration, procuring on behalf of the Office of Transportation Mobility & Operations (OTMO), is requesting proposals for 13 Getac ruggedized laptops under Purchase Order Request for Proposal J02P4600093, with proposals due October 29, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. EDT. This is a Small Business Reserve (SBR) set-aside limiting award eligibility to certified small business vendors meeting Maryland statutory requirements.

Only Master Contractors currently awarded under the Desktop, Laptop, and Tablet 2015 Master Contract (060B5400007) are eligible to submit bids. The procurement calls for seven units to replace existing laptops currently issued by the Office of Information Technology and six units for vacancies and spare inventory. The critical capability requirement is Thunderbolt USB Type-C connectivity to support multi-screen docking — existing legacy equipment lacks this connection standard, preventing technicians and supervisors from docking laptops in the office for multi-monitor use and directly impairing job performance.

Bidders must provide new and unused equipment with estimated ship dates and lead times, manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) screenshots, and letters of manufacturer authorization if requested. Responses must remain valid for a minimum of 90 days following the bid due date. The PORFP includes optional provisions for Manufacturer's Extended Warranty (FA IV) and installation services (FA III), though installation cannot exceed 49 percent of the total PORFP value. Invoicing will be processed per purchase order, with items billed within 30 days of acceptance.

Delivery location is the MDOT SHA ITS Division in Catonsville, Maryland. Questions are due October 22, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. EDT to Kimberly Anderson at the State Highway Administration. An addendum was posted October 20, 2025 and should be reviewed in conjunction with base solicitation materials.
