The State of Maryland, specifically the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS), is seeking a 2,180 net square foot administrative and operational office space located within Dorchester County, Cambridge boundaries. This procurement is conducted through Request for Proposals (RFP) LA-08-25, with proposals due on April 28, 2025, by 3:30 PM EST. The desired space must include 16 on-site parking spaces, with two designated for fleet vehicles, and provide 24/7 access.

Technical evaluation will examine agency program considerations, accessibility, outdoor environment quality, building aesthetics, and use conformity, requiring a minimum technical score of 65% to be considered. Proposals must include a test-fit plan and be submitted separately in technical and financial formats.

Offerors must be registered in good standing with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation and acknowledge various state requirements including transit-oriented development and energy efficiency standards. The lease term is ten years with one optional five-year renewal period. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, respondents will need to meet Maryland's standard procurement requirements. The total maximum evaluation points range between 275-290, with 85 points specifically allocated to net effective rent. Financial evaluation will focus on net effective rent, services like turnkey buildout and janitorial services, and alignment with state energy initiatives. The solicitation does not specify a precise budget range, but the detailed evaluation criteria suggest a competitive procurement process targeting high-quality, efficiently priced office space that meets the agency's operational needs.
