MPSCS Insect Light Trap Bulbs and Traps

The State of Michigan, Department of Technology, Management and Budget-Financial Services issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 190000002102 on May 1, 2019, to procure insect light trap equipment and replacement bulbs for the MPSCS facility located at 7150 Harris Drive, Dimondale, Michigan. The procurement requires 80 Gilbert 220 Guerrilla Insect Light Traps and 160 F20T Insect Light Trap Bulbs, with no alternative brands or manufacturers permitted. All deliverables must reach the specified delivery address within 30 calendar days of the order date, with pricing submitted on the required Schedule B form showing separate unit prices for traps, bulbs, and applicable freight charges. Bidders must submit proposals electronically through www.michigan.gov/SIGMAVSS by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 9, 2019, in modifiable format with a maximum file size of 6 MB per document. Required proposal components include a completed Confidential Treatment Form, responses to the Vendor Questions Worksheet addressing company background and experience, and acceptance of or documented exceptions to the Standard Contract Terms. The State will pay undisputed invoices within 45 calendar days of receipt or final acceptance of deliverables, whichever is later, and late delivery or improper completion will result in liquidated damages of $5,000 plus $100 per day for each day of delay.

The RFP does not identify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises; however, the State reserves the right to consider qualified disabled veteran/service-disabled veteran-owned business (QVD/SDVOB) status during evaluation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the documentation, and no existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are specified. Pricing must be firm for the entire contract term and include all costs such as freight, handling, and palletizing to the delivery address. The RFP does not indicate a scheduled bidders conference or site visit. While no specific contract value is stated, contracts valued at $500,000 or greater require State Administrative Board approval, suggesting this procurement falls below that threshold. Award recommendations will be posted on www.michigan.gov/SIGMAVSS following the evaluation process.
