Maryland Chief Procurement Officer, Wallace D. Sermons II, J.D., will serve as a panelist for “Market Access, Procurement & Modern Supply Chains,” a timely discussion on how businesses can successfully compete in today’s procurement landscape.

The panel will explore:

• Accessing public and private procurement opportunities;

• Advancing supplier diversity and the role of anchor institutions;

• Building strong prime–subcontractor partnerships; and

• Navigating compliance, capacity, and risk in modern supply chains

The Maryland Office of State Procurement looks forward to sharing our perspective on expanding market access, strengthening supplier participation, and delivering a more equitable procurement system for Maryland.
