The size of Maryland state spending
Maryland state agencies paid out $45.5 billion in fiscal year 2026 (July to June), up 4% from the year before. That covers every kind of payment, including aid to local governments, grants and payments to individuals, so most of it is not work a small business bids on; it shows the scale. The largest agencies were Maryland Department Of Health ($17.5 billion); State Department Of Education ($11.5 billion); MDOT The Secretary's Office ($1.5 billion).
All payments made by Maryland state agencies, by fiscal year (July to June), including aid to local governments, grants and payments to individuals, so it is not purchasing alone. Annual totals per agency only: payees are not collected, the newest fiscal year is partial, and county and city spending is not included. Colleges and universities are separate agencies in it.

How to bid on notices like these
- Read the whole notice first: the due date and time, how to submit, and whether a pre-bid meeting or site visit is required.
- Check you qualify: registration with the buyer, licences, insurance, bonding, and any small-business or local preference.
- Ask questions before the question deadline; the answers usually go to every bidder.
- Price the whole scope and include every form the notice asks for. A missing form or signature can disqualify a bid.
- Submit early. Portals slow down near a deadline, and late bids are normally rejected.
For landscaping & grounds: If you can, walk the grounds first: acreage, how often the work repeats, and any haul-away rules drive the price.
