NIA1-186-260000000625-1 | Highschool testing voucher RFP

The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity issued a request for proposal to secure a contractor for the provision of GED and HiSET test vouchers under a three-year contract with two optional one-year renewal periods, targeting statewide delivery across Michigan. The solicitation, identified as NIA1-186-260000000625-1 and posted on July 21, 2026, with a response deadline of July 27, 2026, was evaluated using a Low Price Technically Acceptable approach where only technically compliant proposals were considered for award, assessed strictly on a PASS or FAIL basis against the Statement of Work in Schedule A and the Vendor Question Worksheet. No numerical ratings, weights, or adjectival scores were applied; instead, the lowest-priced bidder meeting all technical requirements was selected. PSI Services LLC submitted a price of $18.00 per subtest, including administrative, retake, and proctoring fees, while GED Testing Services LLC proposed $47.50 per voucher with a $10 retake fee and $47.50 no-show fee. The award was recommended to GED Testing Services LLC at a total estimated value of $726,000 for the base period, with no maximum contract ceiling or option pricing disclosed. The contract requires performance entirely within Michigan, with electronic delivery of vouchers and services expected, and no physical packaging, labeling, or shipping requirements were specified. No formal contract clauses, FAR citations, or certification details such as UEI, CAGE, or socioeconomic status were provided by offerors, all of whom declined SDVOB and GDBE designations. The sole point of contact is Jennifer Frank at the State of Michigan, with no designated COR, COTR, PCO, payment office, or invoicing system identified. Submission occurred exclusively through the SIGMA VSS portal, with no page limits, formatting instructions, or file type constraints documented, and the contract type was not formally labeled but structurally aligns with firm-fixed-price terms due to fixed pricing and LPTA award methodology.
