From the meeting
The board is scheduled to consider authorizing the chairman's signature on a letter to the Maritime Administration (MARAD) asking for clarification on Build America Buy America (BABA). This is not a purchase, but it signals a compliance question that could affect future federally funded work and procurement timing. A seller with grant, infrastructure, or compliance expertise would want to track how the county resolves the BABA interpretation.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
