MPT 005 Business Intelligence Consulting Services

Maryland Public Television is seeking a small business to provide business intelligence consulting services to measure the public's knowledge of the Behavioral Health Administration's public awareness campaigns regarding the opioid epidemic in Maryland. The scope of work involves developing and implementing an online survey via platforms such as Qualtrics or Jotform to collect at least 1,000 representative responses from Marylanders aged 18 to 65. Additionally, the contractor will conduct in-person focus groups with a representative sample of Marylanders and individuals with experience in substance use disorders to evaluate the efficacy of campaigns covering topics such as Naloxone, Fentanyl, the Good Samaritan Law, and anti-stigma programs. The project requires the delivery of two distinct reports, with the survey distributed by June 1, 2027, and final reporting completed by August 27, 2027. This is a Small Business Reserve Procurement, and the contract will be awarded to the offeror providing the lowest responsible and responsive price. Eligible bidders must have at least five years of industry experience with focus groups and provide a minimum of two references from the past six years. Required submission documents include a W-9, an Electronic Funds Transfer Form, and Attachment P. The contractor must adhere to strict confidentiality standards, ensuring focus groups are not recorded and participant identities remain private. Administrative requirements include compliance with Maryland's Commercial Nondiscrimination Policy, drug-free workplace standards, and a three-year record retention policy. Invoices are to be submitted via email and will be paid within 30 days of receipt.
