The Michigan Department of Technology, Management, and Budget issued Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) 260000000021 for Michigan's Professional Development Registry (MiRegistry) Administration services. This procurement was posted on the SIGMA VSS platform on April 6, 2026, with a seven-day response period and a proposal due date of April 13, 2026. The ITN sought a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive MiRegistry Administration services, though specific deliverables and detailed service requirements are not elaborated in the available documentation. The State believes that only The Registry, Inc. possesses the necessary capability to provide the required MiRegistry Administration services. No bidders submitted proposals by the established deadline, resulting in zero competitive responses to this solicitation. Prospective respondents were instructed to direct questions regarding this ITN to Solicitation Manager Marissa Gove at Govem1@michigan.gov or 517-449-8952.

The State has recommended an award to The Registry, Inc., contingent upon State Administrative Board approval if applicable, and will commence contract negotiations with the awarded contractor. The procurement documentation does not specify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting organizational types from responding. With The Registry, Inc. identified as the sole qualified provider and no competing bids received, the procurement proceeded as a non-competitive award. No information regarding award values, budget ranges, or contract pricing is disclosed in the available documentation. The specific terms, duration, and financial parameters of the anticipated contract with The Registry, Inc. will be determined during the negotiation phase that follows State Administrative Board approval.
