Operational Consulting Services – Prequalification Program

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) established a prequalification program for operational consulting services through an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) designed to provide State agencies and MiDEAL members with flexible, on-demand consulting support. This IDV enables rapid procurement of consulting services across multiple professional roles, including Consultants, Senior Consultants, Managing Consultants, Project/Program Managers, and Lead Partners. The contract allows State agencies, local governments, school districts, universities, community colleges, and nonprofit hospitals to access consulting services through a streamlined, fast-track mechanism with predefined hourly rates.

IBM Corporation was awarded the prime contract for this IDV, with a five-year performance period from March 11, 2025, to March 10, 2030, and potential options for two additional one-year renewals. The contract covers the State of Michigan and includes hourly rates ranging from $146.35 to $498.17 for various consulting roles. As a prequalification program, the State intends to award contracts to multiple service providers, with contractors eligible to bid on Tier-Two Statements of Work. The DTMB reserves the right to review and potentially remove contractors who do not actively respond to solicitations, ensuring ongoing performance and engagement.
