This procurement is limited to Master Contractors on the Radio Communications 2018 Master Contract — a restrictive eligibility filter that bars non-master-contract vendors from bidding.

The MBE participation goal is 0%, and no Small Business Reserve applies.

Award will be made based on price (primary evaluation criterion) and timeliness of delivery. This is a fixed-price solicitation. All awarded vendors must be registered and in good standing with the State of Maryland and must provide their Federal Employer Identification Number and purchase order number on all invoices and packing slips. Proposals are submitted through the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) e-procurement system. The point of contact is Heather Stark (410-379-9079), with on-site contact Gary Davis (410-799-3466).
