Market Research Notice: Prince George’s County Fiscal Year 2026 – DPW&T Snow and Ice Removal

Prince George's County's Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) is conducting market research to evaluate potential vendors for snow and ice removal services and related heavy-duty equipment procurement for Fiscal Year 2026. The research aims to identify qualified firms capable of providing comprehensive snow and ice removal services and associated equipment, including specialized vehicles such as skid steer loaders, backhoes, front-end loaders, and motor graders with snow-removal attachments. The market research notice was posted on July 30, 2025, with a response deadline of August 6, 2025. This preliminary research will support two upcoming solicitations: one focused on snow and ice removal services and another targeting heavy-duty equipment procurement. The primary objective is to assess the availability and capacity of potential service providers to meet the county's winter maintenance needs efficiently and effectively.

The county is specifically prioritizing participation from County-Based Businesses, County-Based Small Businesses, County-Based Minority Business Enterprises, and County-Located Businesses for this procurement opportunity. The Supplier Development & Diversity Division (SD3) of the Prince George's County Office of Procurement is leading the market research effort, indicating a strong emphasis on local economic development and supporting diverse business participation. While no specific award values or budget ranges were explicitly stated in the notice, the focus on multiple solicitations suggests a potentially significant procurement initiative. The market research is purely informational and does not constitute an actual solicitation, providing potential vendors an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities and readiness to support the county's snow and ice removal infrastructure. This approach allows the county to thoroughly evaluate vendor capabilities before initiating the formal procurement process.
