# Maryland Creates Service Innovation Department

On January 19, 2023, Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed executive orders addressing ethics and creating the Maryland Department of Service and Civic Innovation. The announcement provides no solicitation, contract, funding, or vendor details, so it does not identify an immediate procurement opportunity for contractors.

- The new department is a state government entity that may become a future point of contact for programs within its remit, but the signal identifies no planned purchases or procurement schedule.
- Contractors interested in Maryland state work can track announcements from the department for specific programs, solicitations, and funding before pursuing a bid or developing a proposal.
