Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE) Participation Opportunity

This contract opportunity invites certified Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE) to participate as subcontractors in either manufacturing or logistics functions to help achieve a 30 percent cumulative participation goal mandated under Executive Order 2022-005. The solicitation is open to firms capable of supporting the core contractual obligations through direct production or supply chain services, with the expectation that their involvement will meaningfully contribute to the overall project’s compliance with state diversity objectives. While no solicitation number or point of contact is provided, the opportunity is posted under the Maryland Purchasing and Disbursements agency and aligns with NAICS code 327331, indicating a focus on cement and concrete product manufacturing. Interested firms must submit their proposals by the deadline of May 22, 2026, at 7:15 PM EDT, with no indication of a formal set-aside classification beyond the diversity participation mandate. The place of performance and detailed requirements are not specified in the provided data, but participation is expected to be tied to a broader contract managed by Baltimore County, accessible through the provided UI link. Eligible entities should confirm their certification status and ensure their services align with either manufacturing or logistical needs required to meet the 30 percent MBE/WBE target, as failure to achieve this benchmark may impact the prime contractor’s compliance obligations.
