ELECTION CONSULTANT

The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement is pursuing a sole source procurement to engage an Election Consultant for a two-year term, as only one qualified source exists to fulfill this requirement under Detroit City Code Sections 17-5-12(g) and 17-5-154. The Elections Department requires expert guidance to support election operations, planning, and compliance over the contract period, and this procurement bypasses competitive bidding due to the unique and specialized nature of the services needed. The solicitation, numbered 547596NIS, was posted on July 22, 2026, with responses due by July 30, 2026, and performance is expected to occur within Michigan. All questions and communications regarding this opportunity must be directed to the Office of Contracting and Procurement’s eProcurement Team via email at eprocurement@detroitmi.gov. The contract will be managed through the city’s procurement platform, accessible via the provided UI link, and no set-aside classifications or NAICS codes are specified. The place of performance is in Michigan, with no specific city or zip code indicated, reflecting the broad scope of services required across the city’s election infrastructure. This is a non-competitive acquisition based on the uniqueness of the consultant’s expertise and the absence of alternative providers capable of meeting the department’s operational needs.
