# Maryland Creates Service and Civic Innovation Department

On January 19, 2023, Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced executive orders on ethics and the creation of the Maryland Department of Service and Civic Innovation. The announcement provides no contract opportunities, funding, solicitations, or procurement contacts, so it does not establish an immediate sourcing opportunity for contractors. Procurement professionals should distinguish this organizational announcement from a procurement notice; any future requirements would need to be identified through subsequent department announcements.

- The newly created department is the primary organizational development relevant to potential future state requirements.
- No contract value, solicitation schedule, vendor selection, or procurement contact is provided in the release.
