MDOS Network Services

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget is soliciting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for comprehensive Network Services for the Michigan Department of State (MDOS), focusing on critical driver and vehicle-related network services. The RFP, numbered 250000000390, seeks a vendor to provide network services mandated by state and federal law, including Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS), National Driver Register, Digital Image Access, Electronic Driver's License services, State to State Verification Services, and National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS). The procurement will involve multiple system verification checks across driver services, vehicle services, and various verification platforms such as Social Security Online and US Passport Verification. Proposals are due February 27, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. Eastern, with preliminary questions required by February 11, 2025. The anticipated contract term is from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2030, with potential for three additional one-year renewals. The evaluation process is structured with a technical scoring method, requiring a minimum of 80 points across four categories: Statement of Work Section 1 (35 points), Sections 2-5 (30 points), Sections 6-10 (15 points), and Vendor Questions Worksheet (20 points).

The RFP includes specific considerations for qualified disabled veterans and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses under Michigan law MCL 18.1261(8), providing potential competitive advantages for these entities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive nature of the network services suggests a significant procurement value. The State reserves the right to not accept the lowest-priced proposal, instead evaluating overall economic impact. The pricing schedule indicates a monthly billing structure for various network services, with provisions for additional line items not covered in the primary service categories. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability to integrate with existing state infrastructure and provide robust, reliable network services across multiple verification and information systems. The procurement appears designed to ensure comprehensive, secure, and efficient digital services for driver and vehicle-related state and federal program requirements.
