Workiva for Audit Management

The Maryland State Retirement Agency is requesting quotes for an annual subscription to the Workiva SLED Audit Management Solution under RFQ issued August 4, 2026, with quotes due August 14, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. local time via eMarylandMarketplace. This is a single-award, firm fixed-price procurement. A small-business preference under COMAR 21.11.01.05 applies: small businesses may win if their bid does not exceed the lowest non-small business bid by more than 5% (7% for veteran-owned small businesses; 8% for disabled-veteran-owned small businesses).

The contractor must be an authorized provider of Workiva Software — the mandatory qualification filter. Scope includes risk assessments, audit-plan development, workpaper management, follow-up audits, and issue and remediation documentation. The contract term runs September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027, with performance at the Maryland State Retirement Agency, 120 E. Baltimore Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

Award will be made to the responsible contractor submitting the responsive quote with the most favorable total price. Contractors must be registered with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation prior to award consideration. The contract incorporates a 1% electronic transaction fee calculated on gross invoiced amount (less returns and credits), payable within 45 calendar days after each reporting period to the Comptroller's office; this fee must be incorporated into unit prices and cannot be charged separately or identified as a line item on invoices. Invoices must be submitted to Contract Manager David Rongione with all documentation per COMAR 21.06.09 standards. No federal funding is involved. The State reserves the right to reduce or withhold payment if deliverables are not provided within specified timeframes or if the contractor breaches contract terms.
