The contract includes a one percent administrative fee on all state payments, with an additional one percent fee for MiDEAL members and extended purchasing program participants. The anticipated contract begin date is May 21, 2027, with renewal options for up to five additional one-year periods at the State's discretion. No specific contract value or cap is stated.

Evaluation criteria total 100 points across technical categories (Vendor Questions Worksheet, Statement of Work, Business Specification, and Proposed Solution); proposals scoring 80 or more points advance to price evaluation. The State reserves the right to conduct on-site visits, proof-of-concept meetings, oral presentations, and interviews during evaluation.
