Classroom 68 x24 Mobile Office 70 x14

The Michigan Department of Corrections has issued a Notice of Intent to Negotiate for a single-source procurement requiring the lease of two trailers for a 24-month term. The first trailer is a 70 x 14 office unit that must include electric heat, five offices with a data hub, and four exit/entry points. The second trailer is a 68 x 24 classroom unit (with a 60 x 24 box interior) requiring electric heat, two data hubs, two classrooms, two 4x6 whiteboards, and four exit/entry points. Neither trailer should include bathroom facilities. The vendor will be responsible for vinyl skirting installation and standard delivery of both units. The procurement is classified under commodity code 97108 and will be structured as a Master Agreement. Interested parties must submit written questions to Solicitation Manager Marta Moore at moorem42@michigan.gov by April 17, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. EST. Responses challenging the single-source designation and proposing equivalent products or services must be submitted in writing by April 21, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. EST, which serves as the final submission deadline for this opportunity.

The procurement identifies Williams Scotsman Inc., located in Brighton, Michigan, as the intended single-source vendor. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other restricted categories are mentioned in the solicitation documents. The notice does not specify pricing information, budget ranges, or funding sources for this procurement. All questions submitted and responses received will be posted on the Michigan Procurement website (www.michigan.gov/SIGMAVSS) to ensure transparency throughout the negotiation process. Vendors interested in competing against the single-source designation or offering equivalent alternatives should note that proposals must address the specific technical requirements outlined for both trailer units and demonstrate comparable functionality and quality.
