Vendor lists may be compiled by the procurement agency to provide State agencies with the names of businesses that may be interested in competing for various types of State procurement contracts. A Master Vendor list shall be compiled by the Department of General Services as part of the eMaryland Marketplace. Unless otherwise provided, inclusion or exclusion of the name of a business does not indicate whether the business is responsible in respect to a particular procurement or otherwise is capable of successfully performing a State contract. Any person desiring to do business with the State shall register with eMaryland Marketplace using the appropriate services and commodities codes indicating the types or kinds of State procurements for which the vendor wishes to be considered. Out-of-State vendors shall be registered with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation before award of the contract.
