About this file
This document is a set of bidder questions and responses related to RFS 240000000721, a supply chain technology solicitation issued by the State of Michigan. The solicitation seeks a multi-faceted solution that provides real-time visibility platforms for complex supply chains with the ability to track, monitor, report, and aggregate logistics data. The anticipated contract start date is August 1, 2024, but the bidder has requested an earlier start date of February to recognize the value to the state within the current fiscal year. The primary use case is for the Healthcare Emergency Preparedness network as specified in HB 4292 Section 601, but the state indicates that other divisions may use the solution in the future. The solicitation requires bidders to demonstrate how their unique network of supply chains can provide value to the state.
The document also provides details on the evaluation process, indicating that members of the HHS Emergency Preparedness Team and other healthcare constituents or areas will be involved. The solicitation covers the jurisdictions of Ingham County and the City of Lansing. No additional details on pricing terms, set asides, incumbents, funding requirements, or sources are provided in the document.

RFS Questions
| Q # | RFP Section | Page # | Bidder Question | SOM Response |
| 1 | Proposal Instructions | 1 | The anticipated contract start date is August 1st, 2024. In order to achieve the value to the state within this fiscal year we would envision beginning this initiative as early as possible. Our solution is a cloud based solution that has been built and is currently in use. We can quickly roll out and provide value to the state that can be recognized within this fiscal year. The language in the HB 4292 Section 601 indicates the desire to use existing technology that is ready to be deployed. |
| Is the state open to having an earlier contract date in February ? What are the factors that extend the contracting date out for 8 months from the RFS date - are any of these items that we can help with? | This is a high-level estimate of the Contract start date based on evaluation of the bid, contract negotiations and other factors of the procurement process. | |
| 2 | Section 2. Challenge Statement and |
Schedule A Attachment 2 Questions 7 & 9 77 and 101 For clarity, the assumption is that the solution requested is the solution for the HealthCare Emergency Preparedness network as specified in HB 4292 Sec 601. The wording in the Challenge Statement is broader than the Emergency Preparedness Network.
| Is the solution being evaluated for addressing the Emergency Preparedness Network or are their other use cases that will be taken into account. | At this time, the primary use will be for the Emergency Preparedness Network but other divisions of the State may use this in the future. | |
| 3 | Schedule A Attachment 2 Question 9 | |
| 101 | There is a request to demonstrate how our solution will "integrate into a minimum of 3 supply chains to provide data to a single system for the State's benefit". Please clarify on what is meant by 3 supply chains - are these 3 separate supply chains outside of the Emergency Preparedness Network or within the network? |
| The requirement is for Bidder's to propose how their unique network of supply chains (automotive, healthcare, government, etc…) will provide value to the State. | ||
| 4 | Section 8 Evaluation Process | |
| 5 | Will members of the HHS Emergency Preparedness Team participate on the evaluation team. What other Health Care constituents or others areas will be involved in the evaluation? | Further information related to the joint evaluation committee members will be publicly available when the notice of intent to award document is posted to SIGMA. |
