Department of Procurement-MCPS Staff Resources

As a public agency, MCPS is required to follow the procurement regulations set forth by the State of Maryland, along with MCPS Policies and Regulations as detailed in the MCPS Financial Manual. Please note that not all vendors offering goods or services are designated as awarded vendors. Only those that have competed and been awarded through the competitive solicitation process are eligible for purchases. *For items that are not awarded, vendor quotes from  "Active" vendors (vendors that are active in the Hub) can be used to create a non-catalog request.
