The contract solicitation RFQ-171-260000000403-1, issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), seeks a vendor to deliver domestic violence intervention services under a fixed-price arrangement with an estimated value of $600,000 for a three-year base period. The scope includes providing 5,082 individual/family-based service units and 288 group-based service units annually, with performance obligations tied to compliance with Michigan state laws including the Prevailing Wage Act and Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. Deliverables must be delivered and accepted at destination within the State of Michigan under F.O.B. destination, inside delivery terms, where risk of loss remains with the vendor until formal acceptance by the State. All data and intellectual property created under the contract, including software and documentation, are automatically assigned to the State, and vendors are required to return or destroy state-provided data within ten days upon request. The evaluation process prioritizes program implementation (40 points), staffing and organizational capacity (35 points), and vendor questionnaire responses (25 points), with a minimum technical threshold of 100 points required for award consideration under a best-value trade-off approach—not based on lowest price. Vendors must comply with strict packaging standards, including 40-pound carton weight limits, specific hardwood pallet dimensions, and labeling requirements for all shipments. No barcoding is mandated, and no military standards (MIL-STD) apply—the requirements are based solely on Michigan state procurement rules. Subcontracting is prohibited without prior written approval, and vendors must adhere to security policies, records retention for four years after final payment, and a ban on public announcements without state consent. The State explicitly does not indemnify vendors, prohibits participation in foreign boycotts, and requires adherence to prevailing wage, equal opportunity, and nondiscrimination standards. All proposals must be submitted electronically through the SIGMAVSS portal in PDF format along with original source files, with a response deadline of July 23, 2026, and no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative or Procurement Contracting Officer is designated in the available materials.
