Technical evaluation criteria include Project Approach, Experience on Similar or Relevant Projects (requiring documentation of three projects within the last five years with minimum values of $25,000 for two projects and $15,000 for one project, with only one reference allowed from UMD), References, Proposer's Personnel, Proposer's Company Profile, and Economic Benefit to Maryland. Price proposals will be evaluated only for proposers deemed technically acceptable by the Technical Evaluation Committee.

Proposers must submit one electronic copy each of technical and price proposals containing a transmittal letter, conflict of interest affidavit, social responsibility affidavit, and certification regarding IRAN investment activities. A pre-proposal conference was held on October 28, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. ET via Zoom, with attendance from Trinity Energy Insulation and Delaware Cornerstone Builders. Contract award is estimated for January 2026.
