The Maryland Health Benefit Exchange (MHBE) is requesting bids to renew a Tenable Vulnerability Management subscription under IFB BPM057370, with bids due August 21, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time. A virtual pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 28, 2026 at 12:30 p.m. EST. Bidders must be authorized Tenable resellers and submit proof of manufacturer authorization.

The procurement covers renewal of one Tenable Vulnerability Management (TIO-VM) subscription for 500 assets with a 12-month term from September 17, 2026 through September 16, 2027. The subscription includes maintenance, support, and upgrades; support features encompass email, portal, 24/7 chat, and 24/7 phone support. Bids are submitted electronically through the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA) portal as a firm fixed-price contract, with award to the responsible bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid based on total bid price.

The contract is funded with federal Medicaid funds (CFDA number 93.778). No Minority Business Enterprise subcontracting goal applies. Invoices must be submitted within 30 days of receipt of services. Electronic funds transfer is mandatory for payment unless exempted by the State Comptroller's Office. The MHBE is exempt from federal excise taxes and state sales taxes, but the contractor remains liable for applicable taxes.

Bidders must submit a transmittal letter, minimum qualification documentation, completed bid price form (Attachment D), bid/proposal affidavit, and federal funds attachment. All required state affidavits and certifications must be executed both with bid submission and within five business days of award notification. Amendment #1 (posted August 12, 2026) moved the bid closing date to August 21 and requires all submissions in PDF format to eMMA with acknowledgment of amendment receipt.
