About this file

This document is a Bidder Questions and Answers file for Michigan's RFP 260000002402 for Patient Clothing on a statewide basis. The RFP solicits various patient clothing items including male tube socks, women's underwear (panties) in standard and plus sizes, sports bras in standard and full-figure sizes, unisex t-shirts in sizes medium through 8XL with separate pricing for plus sizes, velcro shoes in nylon or imitation leather materials, bathrobes in lounge and kimono styles, and other related apparel. The original proposal deadline was extended by the State to 3:00 p.m. on Monday, November 16, 2026, in response to bidders' requests for additional time to prepare comprehensive proposals given the extensive scope and detailed requirements of the solicitation. The State reserves the right to award multiple contracts and will make awards by line item rather than as a whole package. Current contract information for patient clothing is publicly available on the State's Contract Connect database.

Bidders are not required to submit bids on all line items to be considered for award. The document clarifies several specification discrepancies between the Schedule of Work (SOW) and the pricing Schedule B, including the removal of the Ladies Short Sleeve Pant Set line items, the addition of separate pricing lines for t-shirt plus sizes, and the clarification of velcro shoe materials and bathrobe styles. No specific pricing information, funding amounts, set-asides, incumbent contractor information, or contract term details are provided in this questions and answers document.
