Lottery assistant drawing manager

The Michigan Bureau of State Lottery is requesting proposals for part-time lottery assistant drawing managers to conduct daily lottery drawings at WDIV-TV studios in Detroit, Michigan, with proposals due September 21, 2026.

Contractors must supervise midday and evening drawings twice daily, including televised and non-televised events, using air mix drawing machines and lottery-proprietary laptop computer applications. Mandatory minimum qualifications include availability to work days, evenings, weekends, and holidays with a minimum of two weekends per month; availability for training; basic computer skills; ability to read and write; and maintenance of current contact information and a working email address. Contractors provide their own transportation to the drawing studios and must report any unusual incidents during the drawing process.

The anticipated scope is up to 81 working days per year for each drawing manager, with a combined total not exceeding 132 days per fiscal year. The contract term is three years with two optional renewal years available, commencing October 1, 2026.

Technical evaluation carries a 20% weighting for service capabilities, 40% for availability, 10% for vendor questions, and 30% for prior experience. Proposals must score 80 or more technical evaluation points to proceed to price evaluation. Pricing must be submitted as a separate modifiable file. The State will evaluate economic impact including Michigan employment and employee benefits.

Questions are due September 7, 2026, with answers posted by September 14, 2026. All proposals become public records upon receipt; bidders must submit a Confidential Treatment Form regardless of whether confidential information is included.
