State Procurement - Competitive Sealed Bids and Proposals - In-State Evaluation Preference
Hearing (House)
Summary
The bill would change Maryland’s procurement rules so that every competitive sealed bid or proposal must list the evaluation criteria in the solicitation and the bidder must provide a statement on the contract’s impact on Maryland jobs, taxes and subcontractors. Awards would be made based on a 100‑point scoring system that rewards technical merit, in‑state economic impact, cost and past performance, and the process would require public notice, open bid openings, and post‑award publication.
