AI Contract Overview
The Maryland Department of General Services has issued a non-binding Request for Information (RFI) to gather market data on the availability and capabilities of vendors for a potential statewide contract to rent sand bag filling machines, supply bulk sand and sand bags, and support emergency response efforts during declared States of Emergency. The anticipated contract, starting in early 2026, is expected to be a multiple award, fixed-price, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity arrangement with renewal options, designed to support rapid deployment across Maryland. Vendors are asked to provide detailed information on machine capacity, rental terms, delivery logistics, labor provisions, and socioeconomic participation, particularly regarding MBE, VSBE, and SBR goals, but are explicitly instructed not to submit quotes or bids at this stage. The response process involves submitting a concise, three-page Microsoft Word response via the eMaryland Marketplace Advantage portal by October 31, 2025, with contact details provided for further inquiries. The scope of work encompasses the rental and operational support of sand bag filling machines, delivery of bulk sand (play or washed), and supply of polypropylene sand bags with ties, all deliverable to any location within Maryland during emergencies. The contract emphasizes statewide delivery, rapid response times (within 24 hours, not exceeding 14 days), and compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. Notably, the procurement documents do not specify any particular FAR clauses, evaluation criteria, or detailed contractual terms such as inspection, acceptance, or pricing line items, as this is solely an informational market research effort. Unique requirements include promoting socioeconomic inclusion, supporting emergency activation, and ensuring confidentiality of proprietary information, with no explicit security or OCI clauses identified. The process is designed to inform future solicitations, which may incorporate detailed evaluation factors, contractual clauses, and pricing structures not present in this initial RFI.
