LED Lighting & Grip Equipment Package

The Maryland Office of State Procurement has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the provision of an LED Lighting and Grip Equipment Package for Maryland Public Television's (MPT) Studio A facility. The IFB seeks a vendor to supply all necessary materials and equipment, including LED lighting consoles, LED panels, lighting fixtures, and grip equipment, to support MPT's high-definition studio productions. The IFB specifies the required quantities and detailed technical specifications for the equipment. The bid closing date is September 20, 2021 at 2:00 pm local time, and the contract will be a one-time purchase with no renewal options. The basis of award is by lot, meaning the vendor must bid on all items. The successful vendor must provide training on the operation of the lighting console and LED lights for up to 8 MPT staff over 4 days, as well as a 12-month warranty and technical support from the manufacturers.

There is no Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Small Business Reserve (SBR) goal for this procurement. Pricing will be firm-fixed, and the State reserves the right to inspect the equipment prior to acceptance. The IFB has been amended to clarify the required DMX cable quantities and lengths. There are no listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, and no existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The possible award value is not specified, but the procurement is for the full complement of LED lighting and grip equipment needed for MPT's Studio A.
