Dental Equipment, Supplies, Preventative Maintenance/Repair

This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) Central Procurement Services for a statewide contract to provide dental equipment, supplies, preventative maintenance, and repair services. The RFP is initially targeting the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), but the State reserves the right to expand the contract to other State agencies and MiDEAL members. Contractors may bid on dental and equipment supplies, maintenance and repair services, or both. The RFP requires detailed preventative maintenance checklists, equipment inventories, and pricing schedules for the designated dental facilities across Michigan. Proposals will be evaluated on technical criteria, with pricing considered for proposals receiving at least 80 technical evaluation points. The anticipated contract start date is January 1, 2025, with an initial term of 4 years and optional 1-year renewals.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No information is provided on incumbent contractors or existing infrastructure that requires integration. The RFP states that the State may utilize all bidder information to determine fair market value, and the State is not obligated to accept the lowest price proposal. Contracts equal to or greater than $250,000 require approval by the State Administrative Board.
