THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Cottage City plans to accept a FY 2027 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant for $16,750. The grant will fund two Motorola APX Next portable radios plus accessories for the police department, with authority to use a cooperative purchasing contract shared by Maryland and Prince George’s County. The radios are already specified, so the main decision is how and when to execute the purchase and deploy them, and the item reveals equipment standards and grant usage for future public safety tech buys.
Procurement will use an existing competitively awarded cooperative purchasing contract utilized by the State of Maryland and Prince George’s County.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Cottage issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Cottage's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Cottage before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
