The Maine Warden Service requires six licenses of XMAP 8 GIS Editor software and fifty licenses of XMAP 8 Professional software to replace outdated systems used by game wardens for fish and wildlife investigations, recreational vehicle crash investigations, and search and rescue operations.

The State is exempt from federal and Maine state sales and use taxes; quotations should not include taxes. Responses are evaluated on a best-value basis considering conformity with specifications, delivery dates, and the State's interests. For bids exceeding $100,000, economic-impact criteria apply, including salaries paid to Maine residents, payments to Maine-based subcontractors, and state and local tax payments; the highest economic-impact bid receives up to a 10 percent reduction in total bid price for evaluation purposes.

The State reserves the right to negotiate with the selected bidder, waive minor informalities, authorize other state departments to use the resulting contract, and terminate negotiations if an acceptable contract cannot be finalized, after which it may award to the next-highest ranked bidder or cancel the RFQ.
