SRA 25-138, Vinzant ECS/GECS

The Maryland State Retirement Agency (SRA) has issued a Purchase Order Request for Proposals (PORFP) for a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Software Master Contract, specifically seeking GECS support renewal for the SysDev team from the manufacturer Vinzant. The procurement covers 1 license with product numbers NPN-VINZA-MR and NPN-INZA-MR, focusing on Functional Areas (FA) I (COTS Software), II (Installation and Training Services), and III (Manufacturer's Software Maintenance). The solicitation is a fixed-price procurement with evaluation criteria based solely on the lowest price, targeting Master Contractors previously awarded under the COTS 2012 contract (060B2490021) and specifically authorized for the Vinzant manufacturer. Proposals are due on 05/09/2025 at 11:00 am, with the anticipated contract term running from 05/22/2025 to 05/21/2026. Bidders are required to provide estimated ship dates, demonstrate authorized reseller status, and include a screenshot of the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) with their submission. The procurement will be conducted through the State's eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) e-Procurement system, with electronic invoicing to be sent to ISinvoices@sra.state.md.us.

The procurement is not designated as a small business reserve and does not appear to have specific set-aside requirements for disadvantaged enterprises. The solicitation is limited to Master Contractors already approved under the existing COTS 2012 contract, which narrows the pool of potential bidders to those with prior authorization for the Vinzant manufacturer. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement is for a single license renewal with associated support and maintenance services. The contract will be implemented in Baltimore City and is specific to the Maryland State Retirement Agency's SysDev team. Bidders must be prepared to provide comprehensive software licensing, installation, training, and maintenance services consistent with the specified functional areas. The procurement approach suggests a streamlined, price-focused selection process with clear requirements for vendor qualifications and submission details.
