MiRegistry ITN Solicitation

The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB) Central Procurement Services, on behalf of Michigan Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP), is issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for continued administration and operation of MiRegistry, Michigan's workforce registry supporting early childhood learning and development and out-of-school program professionals. The procurement seeks a contractor to collect, track, and manage comprehensive workforce data including demographic information, wage data, retention metrics, education credentials, and professional development records for the state's workforce registry system. The contract term is effective October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2031, with three additional one-year renewal options available. Key deadlines include April 8, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET for submission of written questions to Solicitation Manager Marissa Gove at Govem1@michigan.gov, with answers posted by 5:00 PM ET on April 9, 2026, and April 13, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET as the response deadline for potential bidders to challenge the single-source procurement and submit evidence of equivalent products or services. The solicitation is classified under commodity code 96102 for Administrative Services, and no specific evaluation criteria, pricing information, or funding amounts are detailed in the notice.

The documentation indicates this is a single-source procurement with the intended source being The Registry, Inc., located in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, the current administrator of MiRegistry, which operates through Insight, a web-based platform developed and owned by New World Now that has been customized specifically for Michigan's workforce registry needs. No set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types are explicitly mentioned in the available notice. The solicitation represents a continuation of the existing MiRegistry contract structure rather than a new initiative, maintaining the established relationship with the current service provider and requiring integration with the existing Insight platform infrastructure. The notice does not provide specific budget ranges, award values, or financial details regarding the contract. Vendors seeking to compete for this opportunity or challenge the single-source designation have until April 13, 2026 to submit their responses or objections.
