Maryland Correctional Enterprises (MCE)

Maryland Correctional Enterprises (MCE) is the preferred provider entity as required by Maryland law, in the Annotated Code of Maryland. MCE provides quality furniture, products and services for use by government and non-profit agencies. MCE’s quoted prices are in compliance with preference law and regulation reference Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 21.11.05 and (COMAR) 21.11.07.12. b.  Prices are subject to change with approval from the MD Department of General Services.

In accordance with the State Finance and Procurement Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, the Code of Maryland (COMAR) and the University System of Maryland Procurement Policies and Procedures, all furniture must be purchased from MCE unless a waiver is requested and granted by MCE. The University of Maryland contract allows users to purchase furniture, products and services directly from MCE and Maryland's prison industry program without going through Procurement.

  4. Competitor price
  5. Photos and specifications of competitor products
  6. Reason for the waiver

A response will be sent within a maximum of 3 business days.

If the waiver is approved, written notification will be provided.

If the waiver is denied you will receive written notification with a quote form attached indicating the MCE product that meets your desired specification.

Purchases using Bond Funds 

Maryland Consolidated Capital Bond Loan (MCBBL) can only be spent through the formal requisition/purchase order process, and will require advance Board of Public Works (BPW) approval. Ref. State Finance and Procurement Article 8-301. Therefore, such funds cannot be spent using any delegated purchasing tool (purchasing card). When MCCBL funds are used on any requisition, the requisition goes to the Department of Procurement & Business Services for processing and obtaining approval from the Board of Public Works.
