Microfilm/Electronic Resources for Library of Michigan

The State of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), is seeking to establish a multi-year contract for microfilm, online database, and other electronic resource subscriptions and access to serve the Library of Michigan. The procurement is an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) that aims to enable the Library of Michigan to maintain and expand its collections to serve as a permanent public repository for historical and health-related information. The ITN specifies the required response deadline of 2:00 pm EDT on June 20, 2018 for any potential bidders who do not agree the service is only available from the intended source, ProQuest LLC. The contract will cover ongoing subscription costs and any new microfilm or database resources that become available during the term. The ITN indicates the contract will be awarded to ProQuest LLC, an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company.

The ITN does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is ProQuest LLC, and the ITN indicates the contract will be awarded to this Ann Arbor, Michigan-based company. The ITN does not provide any details on possible award values or budget ranges.
