MDOT MTA solicitations open on…7 of 18MDOT MTA solicitations open on eMaryland Marketplace Advantage at 09:28 EDT on 14 September 2026 (the Riverside environmental IFB closed later that day, leaving six) that are rail-scope and clear the US$5 million market floor, out of eighteen records with the status Open returned by a sub-agency filter of J05, MDOT MTA. The eleven not carried are, in full: Motorola radios (BPM058825); an HPE server equipment task order (BPM058738); an artificial-intelligence firearms-detection request for information (BPM058423); the sale, removal and disposal of 23 surplus transit coaches (BPM058513); the agency-wide Homeland Security surveillance and video management system upgrade at estimated cost class E, $2.5m-$5m (BPM058701); the Metro Charles Center dewatering discharge pipe replacement at class B, $100k-$500k (BPM058652); the LTR South 5kV signal power replacement, which publishes no class and no scope that evidences the floor (BPM057518) - the exclusion was tested rather than assumed: all three of MTA's look-ahead schedules of August 2026 were searched on 14 September 2026 for a matching line and none exists, the construction schedule's six LTR lines being Arial Fiber Optic Cables Replacement (class D), Catenary Rehabilitation Phase 2 (H), Repairs to Bridge and Warning Sign Structures (D), North End Track Refurbishment (H), Roof Replacement at Various Locations (cost class TBD) and Substation Breaker Rehabilitation (C), so no MTA cost class exists for this solicitation at all; Metro T&C room power distribution (BPM058044), the Light Rail CBD fibre replacement (BPM058041), whose own eMMA record carries a Project Cost Class of 'D - $1,000,000 to $2,500,000', below the floor - the class is read from the solicitation record itself, not inferred from a look-ahead line, and the record's scope is the construction of pathways and fibre optic cable from Hamburg Station to the North Avenue Maintenance Facility, splicing into the existing 144-strand aerial cable on the catenaries because the existing 84-strand cable has reached the end of its life. It is MTA's re-advertisement of the solicitation the agency cancelled, and the link is observed rather than inferred: the cancelled BPM051411 is contract T-1466-0140 and carries a Cancellation Notice attachment, the file 'T-1466-0140- Cancellation notice.pdf' of 19 February 2026, while the open BPM058041 is contract T-1466-0140R, the same 'R' re-advertisement convention MTA uses on T-1720-0150R and T-1986-0350R, both carried in this file; and a bus-garage lower window repair (BPM058261) at class D, $1m-$2.5m; and one record whose due date was 21 April 2021 (BPM023296), whose issuing-agency column reads Maryland Department of Transportation rather than Maryland Transit Administration
