Sec. 21.05.01.08. Procurement Bundling

Latest version.

A. In this chapter, "bundle" means the consolidation of two or more procurement requirements for supplies or services previously provided or performed under separate contracts into a single solicitation seeking offers for a single contract that is unlikely to be accessible for award to a small business or minority business enterprise.

B. For the purpose of precluding or limiting participation by a minority business enterprise or a small business, a unit may not:

(1) Bundle a procurement;

(2) Limit the number of competitive bidders or offerors; or

(3) Limit participation to a predetermined group of bidders or offerors.

C. Application. This regulation does not apply if a unit bundles a procurement to conduct a small business reserve procurement under COMAR 21.11.01.06.
