The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) is seeking proposals for enterprise-wide HPE CarePaq support services annual renewal for Fiscal Year 2026 under eMMA Solicitation #BPM055435 (J01P4600090), with proposals due March 16, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time. Amendment #2, issued March 5, 2026, extended the original due date from March 10 and requires bidders who submitted in Round 1 or Round 2 to resubmit under revised bid sheet specifications.

The scope covers comprehensive maintenance and support for HPE computing infrastructure across three MDOT operational divisions: OTTS, SHA, and MAA. The bid sheet specifications detail individual HPE equipment items including Synergy servers, interconnect modules, and storage systems, each with unique serial numbers and part numbers. Contract term runs April 10, 2026 through April 10, 2027.

Responding vendors must submit detailed bid sheets with unit costs and total costs for each enumerated HPE asset, provide a prime contractor list of all subcontractors, and complete a Hardware Mercury Affidavit as a compliance attestation. Pricing information and specific funding allocations are not disclosed in the procurement documents.

The solicitation maintains the incumbent vendor relationship and represents a continuation of existing service levels and pricing terms from prior fiscal years. Funding is provided through MDOT's operational budget allocated for information technology infrastructure maintenance and support services.
