AI Contract Overview
Frederick Community College is seeking a qualified government affairs consultant or firm to deliver comprehensive lobbying and government relations services, with a primary focus on advancing the college’s interests before the Maryland General Assembly and among state lawmakers. The selected provider will serve as the sole vendor for an ongoing, firm-fixed-price core contract that includes consistent state-level advocacy, strategic engagement with legislative bodies, and close collaboration with FCC leadership to secure funding and support initiatives that benefit students, faculty, and the broader community. A proven history of representing community colleges in Maryland’s legislative environment is essential, as is the ability to navigate complex policy landscapes effectively. The procurement is structured as an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, ensuring long-term availability of services while maintaining flexibility. In addition to the core state-level services, FCC may independently award optional federal affairs support contracts to one or more additional vendors on an as-needed basis, provided they meet qualification requirements. These federal services are not part of the base scope and exist separately to allow for specialized federal advocacy when required. FCC reserves the right to award a single vendor that can competently handle both state and federal services, but if no single entity meets the full criteria, multiple vendors may be engaged for federal work without exclusivity, allowing for concurrent or overlapping federal representation. The solicitation is open for responses through July 24, 2026, and all proposals must demonstrate expertise, experience, and a clear understanding of Maryland’s legislative priorities and processes.

Full Description
This procurement will result in the establishment of an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Government Affairs Consulting Services. This contract utilizes a hybrid service model to provide both consistency in core services and flexibility for optional support.
Frederick Community College (FCC) intends to structure awards as follows:
1. Core Government Affairs Consulting Services (State-Level Services): FCC intends to award one (1) contract to a single qualified vendor to serve as the primary provider of core services. These services represent the base scope of work and will be performed on a continuous basis under a firm-fixed-price (FFP) structure.
2. Federal Affairs Support Services: FCC may award contracts to one or more qualified vendors to provide federal‑affairs–related services on an as‑needed basis. These services are not included in the base scope of the contract and are entirely optional.
If a single vendor is determined to be qualified to perform both the core services and the federal affairs support services, FCC reserves the right to award one (1) contract encompassing both scopes of work.
If no single vendor is qualified to perform both scopes, FCC may award federal affairs support services to one or more vendors. Federal affairs awards will be non‑exclusive, and FCC may engage multiple vendors simultaneously for similar or overlapping services.
