Certification of Lottery Draw Game Software Hardware

The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Lottery, is seeking proposals for the certification of lottery draw game software and hardware. The contractor will be required to physically review random number generator source code and design documentation, inspect and test random number generator software, and certify the software and hardware. Key objectives include ensuring the randomness and fairness of the lottery drawings through statistical testing, and providing the Lottery with a method to electronically validate the random number generator program and software. The contractor must have the necessary qualifications and experience to perform these tasks. Evaluation criteria will consider the technical response, vendor experience, and pricing. The proposal deadline is September 17, 2024, with an anticipated contract start date of October 1, 2024. The initial contract term is 3 years, with the possibility of up to 2 additional 1-year renewal terms at the State's sole discretion.

The State may consider the bidder's status as a qualified disabled veterans/service-disabled veteran owned business (QDV/SDVOB) under Michigan law as part of the evaluation. The RFP does not specify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any budget ranges or award values. The State reserves the right to award multiple, optional-use contracts or by contract activity, and to negotiate terms and conditions with the selected bidder.
