The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Public Health Administration (PHA) issued Request for Proposal No. 260000001784 on April 15, 2026, to procure comprehensive public health leadership development programs featuring five distinct training topics: Adaptive Leadership Development, Psychological Safety and Team Functioning, Health Equity Capacity Building, Transformative Leadership Training, and Senior Leadership Coaching. Contractors may respond to any or all training topics and must deliver training through multiple modalities, including in-person sessions at 333 S. Grand Avenue, Lansing, Michigan, as well as remote delivery via online platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, with hybrid and live delivery options ensuring full ADA compliance. Qualified contractors must demonstrate three to five years of experience in public health leadership development with demonstrated expertise in transformative, adaptive, and health equity-focused leadership; each training topic team must include at least one subject matter expert and one senior consultant with a minimum of eight years of relevant experience, relevant leadership coaching certifications, and advanced degrees in related fields. Contractors must also provide at least three case studies or references demonstrating prior successful implementation of leadership programs with measurable outcomes. Pricing must be submitted in modifiable format (Microsoft Word or Excel) with firm unit rates for each training format (in-person and live web-based) and estimated annual units, though the State does not guarantee a minimum number of trainings or separate payment for travel, lodging, or meal expenses. Proposals must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. Eastern on May 13, 2026, with bidder questions due by 3:00 p.m. Eastern on April 29, 2026, and the anticipated contract commencement date is August 1, 2026. The State will evaluate proposals based on best value, considering technical capabilities, pricing, and overall economic impact to Michigan, with proposals receiving 80 or more technical evaluation points eligible for pricing evaluation.
The contract includes an initial term through November 30, 2027, with the option to renew for up to five additional one-year periods at the State's sole discretion. While no specific budget or award value range is listed in the RFP, the State reserves consideration of qualified disabled veterans and service-disabled veteran-owned business (SDVOB) status in its evaluation process. No incumbent vendors, existing contractors, or required infrastructure integration was identified in the procurement documentation. There are no apparent set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organizational eligibility beyond the demonstrated experience and qualification requirements for personnel. The evaluation criteria focus on technical capabilities relative to the five training topic areas, the qualifications and certifications of proposed team members, demonstrated prior success through case studies and references, pricing competitiveness, and the contractor's overall economic impact to Michigan. Contractors interested in responding should note that all staffing costs, materials, and deliverables must be included in their pricing structure.
