COLUMBIA, Md., (June 3, 2025) — TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced the publication of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the enhancement of the Business Resource Information, Development, and Guidance Ecosystem (BRIDGE) program.

The goal of this RFP is to receive proposals from potential firms, evaluate those submittals and select the one best suited to provide the requested services listed throughout the RFP. All applicants must submit a complete response by 5:00 pm, Monday, June 16, 2025. TEDCO will contact the selected company by Monday, June 30, 2025.
