The solicitation, issued as a Purchase Order Request for Proposal, is limited to certified small businesses and requires bidders to be authorized resellers of Ciena products, with the possibility of submitting a Letter of Authorization from the manufacturer. The scope includes supplying new and unused equipment such as transceivers, power cords, software licenses, and extended warranties, with detailed product descriptions and pricing structures based on manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) and estimated past purchase costs. Bidders must provide documentation including MSRP screenshots and, if applicable, a Mercury Affidavit, with proposals due electronically via the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage system by October 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The evaluation is solely based on the lowest price among responsive and responsible bidders, with no additional technical or qualitative criteria specified. The contract emphasizes strict compliance with Maryland procurement regulations (COMAR), requiring proper invoicing, timely submission, and adherence to conditions such as no restocking fees for damaged or incorrect items. It mandates that all equipment be new, sourced from authorized resellers, and that delivery lead times be clearly specified. The agreement reserves the right to adjust quantities based on funding and does not specify federal clauses or security requirements, focusing instead on state procurement standards. Administrative contacts include Cherise Edmonds as the primary point of contact, with detailed instructions for proposal submission, questions, and invoicing procedures, ensuring transparent and compliant execution of the procurement process.
