Procurement Curriculum Development 2025

The State of Michigan, specifically the Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB), is seeking a Procurement Curriculum Development resource for a comprehensive training program in 2025. The Request for Proposal (RFP No. 250000002613) calls for one or two curriculum developers to create interactive web-based training materials, including instructor-led training, videos, reference guides, and certification program curricula focused on procurement processes. The ideal candidate must demonstrate advanced proficiency in software tools like Articulate Storyline, Camtasia, Adobe Photoshop, and Microsoft Office, with a preference for Michigan-based candidates. Proposals are due by July 11, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with an anticipated contract start date of September 8, 2025. The evaluation process is two-step, involving technical criteria assessment and individual interviews, with candidates required to score a minimum of 80 points in both stages. Submissions must include detailed candidate skills charts, resumes, and work samples demonstrating capabilities in curriculum development. The contract will be awarded based on the best combination of technical merit and pricing, with potential for multiple optional-use contracts.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documents for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract allows for up to two resources - one working full-time (40 hours per week) and potentially a second working approximately 30 hours per week. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the contract emphasizes a preference for candidates who can work remotely with potential hybrid opportunities in Lansing, Michigan. The work must be performed within the United States. Compensation will be based on an hourly rate with firm pricing for two years, and only pre-approved mileage will be additionally reimbursed. Contractors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability and automobile liability coverage, and $500,000 in employers' liability insurance. The State reserves the right to consider factors beyond pricing, including Michigan economic impact, job creation, and tax revenue implications. Liquidated damages of $1,000 plus $200 per business day may be assessed for late or improper completion of contract activities, underscoring the state's commitment to quality performance.
