The State of Maryland, specifically the Department of Juvenile Services, is conducting a Purchase Order Request for Proposal (PORFP) for laptop computers and associated equipment through the Desktop, Laptop, and Tablet 2015 Master Contract. The procurement seeks 240 HP 16" ProBook 460 G11 Multi-Touch Notebooks, 240 HP USB-C G5 Docks for Business, and corresponding 5-Year Premium Onsite DMR NB warranties. These items are to be delivered to the Charles Hickey School in Baltimore by May 5, 2025, with strict delivery requirements including inside delivery, unpacking, and pallet removal. Proposals are due on March 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with vendor questions accepted until March 5, 2025, at 3:00 PM EDT. Bidders must submit through the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) e-procurement system and include screenshots of manufacturer's suggested retail prices. Contractors must be authorized HP resellers and maintain pricing validity for 90 days after the bid due date. Evaluation will likely involve compliance with technical specifications, pricing, and delivery capabilities. This procurement is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement, which limits participation to certified small businesses meeting Maryland's statutory requirements. Only Master Contractors awarded under the Desktop, Laptop, and Tablet 2015 Master Contract (060B5400007) are eligible to submit bids, and they must include a Letter of Authorization (LOA) with their proposal. Potential bidders must complete several mandatory attachments, including a Bid Proposal Affidavit, Conflict of Interest Disclosure, Reference Check form, and Mercury Affidavit. The procurement includes specific requirements for minority business enterprise participation, veteran-owned small business compliance, and various ethical and legal standards. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves 240 units of high-performance laptops, docks, and warranties, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. Successful vendors must demonstrate compliance with Maryland's comprehensive procurement regulations and provide detailed documentation of their qualifications and capabilities.
