1.1.1 The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure Microwave and Ancillary Equipment, Installation and Training services and Manufacturer’s Extended Warranty, for the State of Maryland. Through the Master Contracts awarded as a result of this solicitation, the State will have a flexible means of obtaining these products and services, quickly, efficiently and cost effectively by issuing Purchase Order Requests for Proposals (PORFP’s) specific to its needs.

1.1.2 The scope of this solicitation encompasses three functional areas as follows:

Functional Area I – Licensed Microwave Radios, ancillary equipment, test equipment and installation supplies

Functional Area II- Unlicensed Microwave Radios, ancillary equipment, test equipment and installation supplies

Functional Area III- Installation, Repair, Preventative Maintenance Services and Manufacturer’s Extended Warranty

1.1.3 DoIT intends to award a Master Contract to an unlimited number of Offerors that are authorized by the Manufacturer or Distributor to sell the proposed products and services, and determined by the State to be qualified. Offerors may propose to Functional Areas I, II or III, or any combination thereof as specified in Section 2.

1.1.4 Each request for Equipment and Installation, Repair and Preventive Maintenance Services, throughout the term of the Master Contract, will be issued and summarized by the Requesting Agency in a PORFP. A Master Contractor/Manufacturer Product matrix for the Equipment will be established and maintained by DoIT. All Offerors awarded a Master Contract for that specific Manufacturer’s Products and/or services for which the PORFP has been issued will be invited to compete for the award. Based upon PORFPs issued by the State, a Master Contractor will be selected to provide the requested Equipment and/or Services. A Purchase Order (PO) will then be issued by the Requesting Agency to the selected Master Contractor, which will bind the Master Contractor to the terms of the PORFP response, including the price. Master Contractors may add Manufacturers’ Products and/or services from time to time throughout the life of the Master Contract by submitting Letters of Authorization from the Manufacturer or Distributor of the Equipment in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 2.7. Neither a PORFP, nor a PO, may, in any way, conflict with or supersede the Master Contract.
