Driver's License/Identification Card Production System

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget is seeking a comprehensive driver's license and identification card production system through a Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 200000002245. The procurement involves a full-scale solution for producing approximately 2.3 million standard cards and 600,000 enhanced driver's licenses/ID cards annually across 133 branch locations statewide. The selected vendor must provide central card production facilities, image capture workstations, card design, security features, and complete issuance services, with mandatory requirements including five years of experience in secure ID document production and current REAL ID-compliant license production. Evaluation criteria will be comprehensive, with a 100-point technical evaluation (requiring a minimum of 80 points to advance), followed by card sample evaluation and oral presentations. Key dates include a mandatory pre-proposal meeting held on August 26, 2020, with proposal submissions due on October 2, 2020, at 3:00 PM ET, and an anticipated contract start date of December 15, 2020. The contractor must implement the entire system within 240 business days from order receipt, with specific delivery and installation timelines, and must maintain NASPO Class I or II certification.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The current contract is approaching expiration on March 17, 2022, suggesting a potential incumbent vendor, though not directly named in the documents. The system must integrate with existing Michigan Department of State infrastructure, including the CARS system modernization project going live in March 2021, and requires connectivity with external interfaces such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection for Enhanced Driver's License programs. Technical requirements are stringent, mandating U.S.-based manufacturing facilities, FedRAMP or SOC 2 Type II compliance, and robust disaster recovery capabilities with a 24-hour Recovery Point Objective and Recovery Time Objective. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the scope involves processing approximately 11,000 cards daily, with peak volumes reaching 20,000 cards, suggesting a significant potential contract value. The pricing model appears to be per-card based, with potential milestone payments during implementation, though exact financial details were not explicitly outlined in the procurement documents.
