Welcome to The Secretary's Office - Office of Procurement. The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) procures nearly $2 billion worth of goods and services each year. We procure a wide range of goods, from vehicle license plate stickers to multi-million dollar container cranes for use at our marine terminals. We also procure items such as construction, archeological, environmental, maintenance and commodities such as lumber, office equipment and portable stairs to assist in boarding airplanes. We are truly a procurement organization that is charged with maintaining our state of the art transportation system. MDOT is comprised of the following modal administrations: The Secretary's Office (TSO): www.mdot.maryland.gov Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA): www.marylandaviation.com Maryland Port Administration (MPA): www.marylandports.com Maryland Transit Administration (MTA): www.mta.maryland.gov Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA): www.mva.maryland.gov State Highway Administration (SHA): www.marylandroads.com Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA): www.mdta.maryland.gov Doing business with the State of Maryland Thank you for your interest in doing business with the State of Maryland. Please note that the State of Maryland is required to use State contracts for goods and services. For items not available from State contracts, buyers are encouraged to use the free interactive bidding component of eMaryland Marketplace: www.ebidmarketplace.com. To receive a contract award from the State, you must be a registered vendor with the eMaryland Marketplace website which is the gateway to bidding opportunities for commodity, construction, architect and engineering, facility, maintenance, human services, Information Technology and related services. As a registered vendor to eMaryland Marketplace, you will be privileged to many benefits including: Online Goods and Services Profile: Instant Notification of Opportunities: Solicitations Online: Questions or concerns should be directed to the specific Procurement Officer assigned to the procurement. Directors and staff are unable to provide information or meet with individuals, as any information discussed and obtained in such meetings that became a part of a solicitation would preclude the individual or firm from participating in the procurement process (State Government Article, Section 15-508). Information Technology message A majority of all Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) purchases for Information Technology (IT) services software and hardware are procured through the Maryland Department of Information Technology (DoIT) statewide master contracts. The master contracts are re-competed every few years which opens the opportunity for vendors to bid on the various State of Maryland master contracts.On DoIT’s website (http://www.doit.maryland.gov), the CATS II Master Contract for IT Services link has a tab for open solicitations. In the open solicitations you will find dates for pre-proposal meetings that your company can attend to network with many of the Master Contractors and possibly partner with a contractor on one of the task orders as a subcontractor. DoIT’s website is where bid opportunities for all State agencies are posted. Also, an IT Vendor Day is coordinated once a year for MDOT. Many State agency IT procurement representatives and Prime/Master Contractors attend this event. Individuals interested in networking and discussing the services your company offers are welcome to attend. Please contact Mrs. Betty Mullins-Winegar to register for the IT Vendor Day and for additional information at (410) 865-1328 or bmullins-winegar@mdot.state.md.us. For assistance with eMaryland Marketplace, contact the Help Desk at (410) 767-1492 or eMaryland@dgs.state.md.us. We wish your company well in all future endeavors. | ||
