Franklin Covey trainers and materials

The State of Michigan's Civil Service Commission has issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for Franklin Covey trainers and materials, specifically seeking certified trainers to deliver courses within their Management Development Program. The procurement requires comprehensive training services including course-specific participant manuals, profiles, assessments, surveys, and trainer materials that are copyrighted and trademark-registered by FranklinCovey. Potential vendors must demonstrate the ability to provide equivalent training services and materials, with the state indicating a preference for FranklinCovey Co. as the primary provider. The solicitation requires vendors to submit questions through www.michigan.gov/SIGMAVSS by August 24, 2018, with final responses due by August 28, 2018. Commodity codes associated with this procurement include 924-35, 715-10, and 956-85, and the point of contact for this opportunity is Kimberly Davis, the Solicitation Manager.

The ITN does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The state appears open to receiving alternative proposals from vendors who can demonstrate equivalent training capabilities to FranklinCovey Co., located at 2200 West Parkway Blvd. in Salt Lake City, Utah. While no specific budget range or award value is detailed in the available documentation, the procurement seems focused on securing a comprehensive training and materials contract for the Management Development Program. Vendors interested in responding must carefully review the requirements and be prepared to provide a comprehensive written response that addresses the state's specific training needs. The solicitation suggests the state is seeking a vendor that can seamlessly integrate with their existing training infrastructure and deliver high-quality, standardized training materials and services.
