# Maryland Creates Service Innovation Department

On January 19, 2023, Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced executive orders concerning ethics and the creation of the Maryland Department of Service and Civic Innovation. The announcement provides no contract, solicitation, funding, or vendor details, so it does not identify a procurement opportunity or a specific action for contractors. For procurement professionals, the department’s creation is relevant as an organizational development, but the release does not establish purchasing requirements or an acquisition timeline.

- The release names the new department but provides no procurement scope, budget, or contracting vehicle.
- Businesses cannot identify a bid or funding opportunity from this announcement alone; no vendor outreach or solicitation details are provided.
