Proposals were due on Monday, August 5, 2019 at 9:30 a.m., with bidders required to submit completed RFP forms and enter total delivered pricing in the SIGMA VSS system; failure to complete and attach required documentation or enter line item pricing could result in proposal disqualification. Vendors may invoice upon DNR acceptance with payment due net 45 days after invoice receipt unless a quick payment discount is offered. All bidder questions had to be submitted via email to the solicitation manager, Autumn Jones, at jonesa63@michigan.gov; telephone inquiries were not accepted, and contacting any other state personnel could result in disqualification.

The RFP included evaluation criteria for qualified disabled veteran (QDV) status under Michigan law, requiring bidders to provide documentation such as DD214 forms, VA Rating Decision Letters, legal documents of business ownership, or National Veterans Business Development Council certification to demonstrate QDV qualification. No specific budget range or award value was disclosed in the RFP documentation. Bidders were required to provide vendor information including name, SIGMA ID, contact details, and address through the submission process. The RFP did not identify any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises beyond the QDV evaluation criteria were noted in the available documentation.
