About this file
This document contains bidder questions and the state's responses related to a contract opportunity for supplying boots to the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC). The contract is for a 5-year term starting on February 1, 2024, with the state not guaranteeing any minimum quantity. Annual orders have averaged between 890 to 1,475 boots per year, with a total under 11,000 boots over the 5-year period. The state has not published the MDOC uniform standards for shoes and boots, and alternate boots are not being considered with this posting. An on-site visit is not required for bidders.
The contract provides for a distributorship and related discount pricing, but the exact specifications of the requested boots, such as colors, height, and comparable styles, are not provided. The state also cannot provide monthly forecasting due to the sporadic nature of the orders. Pricing terms, set asides, and funding sources are not detailed in the document.
