The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) Central Procurement Services issued Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) #190000000053 to establish a statewide contract for Michigan's Public Safety Communications System (MPSCS). This procurement seeks to secure continued system updates, equipment maintenance and upgrades, ancillary systems products, and Motorola Brand P25 two-way radios. The ITN was posted on SIGMA VSS on May 20, 2019, with proposals due on May 28, 2019, representing an eight-day posting period. The State has recommended an award to Motorola Solutions Inc. based on the determination that this contractor is the only vendor capable of providing the required services and products, though no other bidders submitted proposals by the published deadline. The State will proceed to negotiate contract terms with the awarded contractor pending any required State Administrative Board approval. Valerie Hiltz serves as the Solicitation Manager and can be contacted at (517) 249-0459 or hiltzv@michigan.gov for additional information regarding this ITN.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or explicit budget ranges for this procurement. Motorola Solutions Inc. is the identified incumbent contractor and recommended awardee for this statewide public safety communications contract. The existing infrastructure requiring integration consists of the MPSCS system and Motorola Brand P25 two-way radio equipment, indicating that the successful contractor must maintain compatibility with established public safety communications technology. The award recommendation reflects the specialized and proprietary nature of the MPSCS system, which necessitates continued engagement with the original equipment manufacturer. No other cost information or budget parameters were disclosed in the available procurement documents.
