Yea, I'm not liking this clause:
"THE PRE-QUALIFICATION PROCESS
2.1 Maryland State Law allows government agencies to restrict the access to highly sensitive technical information related to these systems when the release of such information could pose a risk to the general public, the ability of the government to respond to emergencies, or the release of the information could reveal specific tactics, emergency responses, or security procedures. As a result, the RFP which will outline the functional requirements of the System and associated operating procedures, and certain design parameters of the System, will only be released to (a) Responding Entities that execute a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, and (b) can demonstrate that they are qualified to deliver this System, and provide a turn-key performance on these complex requirements. Those Responding Entities meeting all the initial pre-qualification requirements, as well as the Non-Disclosure Agreement will be permitted to proceed onto the next step in the Request for Proposal (RFP) evaluation process."
I can understand the need for security, but this statement seems a bit broad to me.
