About this file
This is an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) document issued by the State of Michigan Department of Education, Office of Great Start, for a single-source procurement of infant mental health professional development services and educational tools. The solicitation seeks to contract with the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) to provide training, reflective supervision, and access to the proprietary "MI-AIMH Wheel," an educational tool designed to support infant and early childhood mental health professionals. The ITN identifies MI-AIMH as the sole source provider because the organization developed the tool, holds proprietary rights to it, and is the national center for infant mental health professional development services founded at the University of Michigan. The response deadline for potential alternative bidders to challenge the single-source determination and submit equivalent offerings is June 29, 2020, at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Written questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by June 24, 2020, at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time through the Michigan.gov/SIGMAVSS portal.
The solicitation is classified under commodity code 78544 for educational displays, kits, and models. MI-AIMH is located at 13101 Allen Road, Southgate, Michigan 48915. The contract is identified as new rather than a renewal or modification of an existing agreement. No pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, or funding amounts are specified in this ITN notice. The primary contacts for inquiries are Tanmay Desai, Solicitation Manager, and Carol Munroe, MDE Procurement, with contact information provided for both written questions and formal responses.
