About this opportunity
The Maryland Department of Health - State Anatomy Board (MDH-SAB) is issuing an Invitation for Bids (IFB) to procure transportation services for deceased adult donated, adult unclaimed, and infant bodies throughout the state of Maryland. The successful bidder(s) will be required to provide 24/7 transportation services to transport bodies from hospitals, nursing homes, residences, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to the SAB's facility in Baltimore, and potentially to alternate locations as needed. The contract will also require daily transport of bodies and specimens for cremation to contracted crematories within a 40-mile radius of the SAB facility. The anticipated contract duration is 5 years, with the first year being a transition period to expand services statewide. The IFB outlines requirements for contractor staffing, transportation response times, reporting, and penalty fees for non-compliance. Pricing will be based on a fixed per-mile rate for body transports and a per-cremation transfer rate.
There is no Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation goal for this procurement. The SAB intends to award the contract to the responsible bidder with the most favorable bid price, designating a primary and secondary contractor. No federal funding is involved, and the SAB has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors.
