IMPORTANT INFORMATION
eMaryland Marketplace is being replaced by
eMaryland Marketplace Advantage (eMMA).
The Maryland Department of General Services is asking all registered vendors to complete our brief eMMA Vendor Information Questionnaire. It will serve as your preliminary registration, ensuring that you are able to transact in the new system. If you want to make any changes to your submission, simply complete the questionnaire again.
When we launch eMMA in July, you’ll receive a temporary user name and password so you can log in and complete the user profile. You will be able to add additional contacts at that time.
eMMA Vendor Information Questionnaire
Existing vendors who do not complete the eMMA Vendor Information Questionnaire prior to the launch of the new system will have to register as a new vendor.
The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) encourages and supports Small, Disadvantaged, Veteran-owned, and Minority Businesses. For more information about MDTA's Business Programs, please contact:
