About this file
This is a Bidder Questions and State Answers document for RFP 210000002538 issued by the State of Michigan. The solicitation concerns a uniform supply contract with the State of Michigan, with the incumbent contractor being Logofit. The State seeks bidders capable of supplying uniforms on both bulk order and smaller individual quantity bases, with the anticipated award recommendation on October 4, 2021, and latest contract execution date of October 27, 2021. Service commencement is expected December 1, 2021. The State is exploring bidder capabilities to warehouse inventory and maintain minimal lead times, with par levels to be negotiated post-award with the selected contractor. Each state agency must have its own e-store with individual employee login capabilities.
Pricing information submitted on the Schedule B-Pricing Worksheet will not be treated as confidential and must remain public; however, bidders may identify other confidential cost data for redaction. The current contract can be referenced on Michigan Contract Connect under Contract #071B7700027. The incumbent contractor, Logofit, has agreed to provide all artwork, vector files, and related materials to facilitate transition to the new vendor and possesses patches and woven labels available for purchase. However, access to LED-CO patches and labels is restricted by the Department of Natural Resources, which will independently purchase any remaining Logofit DNR inventory.

| Kindly let us know are the items required one time buy or as needed basis. Secondly its mentioned in document of warehouse so is it required for certain items or for all items and is it one time or as needed basis |
| The State may wish to order uniforms in bulk, but we require the ability to order items in smaller or individual quantities. |
The State wishes to explore whether your company has the capability to inventory items for us so that the lead times are minimized.
On the Schedule B- Pricing Worksheet we are asking you which items, if any, you would be willing and able to warehouse for us.
If your company were to pass technical evaluation and we were to negotiate with your company, we would establish which of these items we would ask you to warehouse and establish par levels.
| Can the Confidential Treatment Form be applied to the cost transparency for the products requested on the bid? |
| It is up to each bidder to determine what they deem to be confidential, identify the confidential items in the table provided (add lines as necessary), and redact the confidential data on the public copy. |
Refer to Confidential Treatment Form (page 14), Section 2.
Pricing provided on the Schedule B- Pricing Worksheet will not be considered confidential.
| If separate log ins cannot be provided for the e-store, would separate agency stores be acceptable? |
| Yes, the state prefers that each agency have its own e-store, however employees will have to be able to log in individually. |
| When will the contract be awarded? There will be a lot of preparation to be done in order to start shipping orders December 1, 2021. |
| Award Recommendation is anticipated to be made October 4, 2021. Latest date of contract execution is expected to be October 27, 2021. |
| Will current vendor sell any unused patches or woven labels? If not, can the company where purchased be provided? |
| The current contractor, Logofit, would be willing to provide all the artwork, vector files, etc. for the patches/transfers/woven labels, to the State of Michigan to send to the new vendor and provide any guidance to them during the transition process. |
Logofit may still have patches/transfers/woven labels in stock that could be purchased if they haven’t already been purchased by the State. Relieving Logofit of this stock and making purchasing arrangements with them is highly encouraged.
However, DNR has restricted access to LED-CO patches and labels so the new vendor will not be able to purchase those. DNR will be purchasing any remaining Logofit DNR patches or labels.
