The procurement seeks to acquire multiple HP printer models, including 25 HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M635fht units, 25 HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M776dn units, 5 HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP 5800dn units, and 25 peripheral product units. The place of performance is the Annapolis Data Center located at 108 Carroll Street, with proposals due on March 3, 2025, at 9:00 AM. Vendors must submit their proposals through the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) system or via password-protected email. The evaluation criteria will focus on product descriptions, part numbers, pricing, and conformance with delivery requirements. The contract will be awarded to the most advantageous responsive and responsible Master Contractor, considering both price and technical factors.

This procurement is exclusively reserved for certified small businesses that meet the statutory requirements outlined in the State Finance and Procurement Article, 14-501-14-505, of the Annotated Code of Maryland. To be eligible, businesses must be certified by the Governor's Office of Small, Minority & Women Business Affairs (GOSBA) Small Business Reserve Program.

While specific budget details are not provided, the procurement involves the acquisition of multiple printer units across different models, suggesting a moderate-value contract. Vendors must carefully review the requirements and ensure they meet the small business certification criteria before submitting a proposal.
