GPS MONITORING PROGRAM- Cancelled

The Maryland Department of Labor (LABOR) has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for a GPS Monitoring Program targeting vehicle tracking services for 71 LABOR vehicles located in Baltimore and Hunt Valley, Maryland. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide comprehensive GPS vehicle monitoring services, including equipment installation, active 24/7 tracking, monitoring, staff training, and backup and data restoration solutions. The contract will be a three-year firm fixed price agreement, with the award determined by the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Bids are due on November 22, 2024, by 2:00 pm local time, with no pre-bid conference or site visit scheduled. The IFB does not establish any specific bidder minimum qualifications, and vendors must submit detailed pricing for GPS units, installation, de-installation, re-installation, and annual tracking fees using the provided bid form. Evaluation will focus on price competitiveness and the ability to meet the technical specifications outlined in the solicitation documents.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation are noted in the procurement documents. There are no Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business (VSBE) participation goals for this contract. The State will not provide travel reimbursement, and bidders must carefully adhere to the specified pricing format to avoid being deemed non-responsive. While the exact budget range is not explicitly stated, the solicitation covers three years of GPS tracking and monitoring services for 71 vehicles, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The procurement appears to be an open competitive bid seeking the most cost-effective solution for LABOR's vehicle monitoring needs, with a focus on comprehensive tracking services across their fleet in Maryland.
