Moving Services and Moving Supplies - Statewide

The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Central Procurement Services issued a statewide Request for Proposal (RFP No. 171-180000003470) for Moving Services and Moving Supplies, covering multiple jurisdictions including Genesee County and Reading City. The procurement sought a comprehensive moving services contract encompassing both service and supply requirements, with vendors required to demonstrate capabilities in relocating state assets, providing moving equipment, and offering rental moving supplies. The RFP was posted on SIGMA VSS on September 13, 2018, with proposals due by October 10, 2018, establishing a three-year contract term with potential for up to three additional one-year renewals. Evaluation criteria were structured around technical qualifications, with proposals needing to score a minimum of 80 points to have pricing considered. The technical evaluation weighted 100 points total and assessed vendors' ability to meet Statement of Work requirements, answer specific vendor questions, and demonstrate operational capability. Proposals were systematically reviewed for compliance, with technical competence being the primary initial screening mechanism before pricing considerations.

The procurement did not include specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, and neither submitted proposal qualified as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB). Two vendors participated in the competitive process: Corrigan Moving Systems and Oneida Solutions Group, Inc. Oneida Solutions Group was ultimately selected as the awarded vendor, scoring 92/100 on technical evaluation compared to Corrigan's 90/100. The contract was awarded with a total value of $400,000, determined through evaluation of five distinct pricing scenarios where Oneida offered lower prices in four out of five scenarios. Key selection factors included lowest pricing, statewide distribution capabilities, ability to provide rental products at multiple locations, and complete acceptance of standard contract terms without redline modifications. The awarded contract provides state agencies with a comprehensive moving services solution, ensuring flexibility and cost-effectiveness for relocation and moving supply needs across Michigan.
