When a genuine emergency threatens public health, safety, or property, Maryland agencies can bypass the normal competitive timeline and award a contract quickly, sometimes to a single qualified vendor. The agency still has to document why the emergency justified the expedited process, so awards go to vendors who are credible and ready, not just available.
In practice that means the winners are usually vendors already registered on eMaryland Marketplace, with current licenses and insurance, who can mobilize within days. Common emergency categories include security and guard services, IT and cybersecurity, construction and repair, and disaster response.

- Set up alerts for new solicitations so you respond within hours, not days.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find emergency contracts in Maryland?
Maryland emergency and sole-source solicitations are posted on the state's procurement portal, eMaryland Marketplace.

This page lists current emergency solicitations we have found for Maryland.
What counts as emergency procurement?
Emergency procurement is an expedited process governments use when a threat to public health, safety, or property does not allow time for normal competitive bidding. Agencies can award faster, and sometimes sole-source, but must still document the emergency. Common categories include security, IT and cybersecurity, construction, and disaster response.
Can a small business win emergency contracts in Maryland?
Yes. Emergency awards favor vendors who are already registered, hold current licenses and certifications, and can mobilize quickly. Speed and readiness matter more than size. Keep your Maryland vendor registration and insurance current so you are eligible the moment an emergency need is posted.
