Award for RFP 250000002675 Business Tax Types

Michigan's Department of Technology, Management, & Budget (DTMB) is proceeding to award RFP 250000002675 for additional tax types to Fast Enterprises, LLC, pending State Administrative Board approval, with a recommendation posted September 11, 2026 and a due date of September 25, 2026.

Fast Enterprises, LLC, located in Centennial, Colorado, was the sole bidder on this solicitation. The contract carries a five-year initial term with up to five optional one-year renewal periods. The total award amount is $25,216,708.33, comprised of $22.2 million for implementation, $2 million in license fees, and $1,016,708.33 for maintenance and support. Post-evaluation negotiations reduced the total contract value by $1 million; this scope has been incorporated into existing Master Agreement 240000001157 with a phased rollout approach and pricing locked pending funding availability.

The original RFP was posted July 18, 2025 with a submission deadline of August 29, 2025. A Joint Evaluation Committee of 55 voting and advisory members from DTMB and the Treasury Department evaluated proposals against four technical criteria: Schedule A — Statement of Work (20 points), Vendor Questions Worksheet (35 points), Business Specification Worksheet (40 points), and Resume Templates (5 points), for a total of 100 points. Fast Enterprises achieved a technical score of 90.55.

The evaluation report documents multiple deficiencies in the awardee's proposal across evaluation categories, including inadequate responses regarding standard contract terms, insurance requirements, service level agreements, data security requirements, and project management details. Despite these gaps, Fast Enterprises was determined to meet all RFP requirements. DTMB's award recommendation emphasizes that leveraging the incumbent contractor delivers best value through cost reduction, minimized system transition risks, vendor continuity, and adherence to project timelines.
