The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) is seeking to procure IBM DB2 software licenses for its EPICS and MSTARS systems through a Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) under the Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) 2012 contract. The specific procurement is for software licenses with requirements that include purchasing new and unused equipment, with flexibility to acquire more or less than specified quantities and without restocking fees. Bidders must be authorized IBM resellers and must provide Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) screenshots, virus-free software, and comprehensive licensing agreements. The solicitation was issued on 04/21/2025, with responses due on 05/05/2025 at 2:00 PM local time through the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) e-Procurement system. Potential bidders may submit questions until 04/30/2025 at 2:00 PM, and pricing must remain valid for at least 120 days after the due date. The evaluation will focus on selecting the most responsive and responsible vendor offering the most advantageous pricing while meeting all specified criteria. This procurement is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement, which means only certified small businesses are eligible to submit bids. Electronic invoicing will be processed through FPMO@MDOT.MARYLAND.GOV, with specific invoice requirements detailed in the solicitation document. The procurement is specific to Anne Arundel County and is limited to Master Contractors under the existing COTS 2012 contract (060B2490021). While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement appears focused on software licensing for existing systems. The contract aims to ensure continuity of software support for MDOT's EPICS and MSTARS systems, which suggests this is a renewal or expansion of existing technological infrastructure. Potential vendors must demonstrate comprehensive understanding of IBM DB2 licensing, technical compatibility, and ability to meet the precise specifications outlined in the procurement documents.
