SRA 25-133-B, ABBYY Flexicapture

The Maryland State Retirement Agency is seeking a renewal of licensing and support for ABBYY FlexiCapture software through a Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) specifically for Baltimore City. This procurement is a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Software Master Contract covering one software license with a specific business support and maintenance serial number (DVAP-1201-0006-6627-7730-1768). The contract will cover Functional Areas I (COTS Software), II (Installation and Training Services), and III (Manufacturer's Software Maintenance), with installation and training services limited to 49% of the total PORFP value. Proposals are due on April 11, 2025, at 11:00 am, with the performance location set at 120 E. Baltimore Street in Baltimore, Maryland. The contract term will run from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2026. Evaluation criteria will be based solely on the lowest price, and the contract will be a fixed-price type. Bidders must submit proposals electronically through the State's eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) e-Procurement system and include specific documentation, including a screenshot of the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).

This procurement is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) procurement, which means only certified small businesses meeting Maryland's statutory requirements are eligible to bid. The solicitation is restricted to Master Contractors previously awarded under the COTS 2012 contract (Solicitation No. 060B2490021), further limiting the pool of potential bidders. By implementing these constraints, Maryland aims to provide opportunities for small businesses within the state's technology procurement ecosystem. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement is focused on a single software license renewal with associated support and maintenance services. The restrictions and specific requirements suggest a targeted, competitive procurement process designed to support local small business participation while meeting the state retirement agency's specific software needs.
