The Maryland Department of Health at Springfield Hospital Center is requesting bids for removal and installation of an accordion wall divider system in the Salomon Building under IFB BPM055125, with bids due February 20, 2026 at 12:00 PM via eMMA (revised from February 19 by Amendment #1 due to portal posting error).

The scope covers removal and disposal of the existing accordion door and door system, installation of a Sound Master 12 Accordion Partition by Modernfold or equivalent with fire-rated panels, Sound Transmission Class rating of 40, ligature-resistant mechanisms, and cleanable surfaces compliant with ASTM E84, NFPA 13, NFPA 101, and OSHA standards. The accordion panels are approximately 48 inches wide and 10 feet high with a finished clear opening width of 20 feet. The contractor must provide a warranty for services rendered and equipment installed.
