About this opportunity

The Michigan Department of Education's Office of Financial Management/Procurement issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB 190000000048) for the one-time purchase of 50,000 Baby Stages Wheels, a reference tool designed to educate parents, caregivers, and professionals about early social and emotional development of infants and toddlers. The procurement specifically targets delivery to the Clinton County Regional Educational Service Agency Office in Dewitt, Michigan, with a requirement that the product be manufactured exclusively by the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health. Bidders must be either the manufacturer or an authorized distributor, and the product must include a custom-printed back cover featuring the Michigan Early On logo and contact information. Key procurement dates include a question submission deadline of November 16, 2018, and bid submission due date of November 21, 2018. The anticipated purchase order issue date was November 28, 2018, with complete delivery required by December 20, 2018. Pricing must be FOB Destination, with all transportation charges prepaid and included in the unit price or listed as a separate line item.

The procurement includes provisions for qualified disabled veteran-owned businesses under Michigan Compiled Law 18.1261, providing potential set-aside opportunities for such enterprises. Payment terms are established at Net 45 days, with options for quick payment discounts. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the strict manufacturing and distribution requirements suggest a focused and controlled procurement process. The bid appears to have a targeted local economic development component by specifying a Michigan-based manufacturer and serving regional educational service agencies. Although a precise budget range is not provided, the procurement involves 50,000 units, indicating a potentially significant contract value. The procurement's focus on infant social-emotional development tools suggests an educational and developmental support initiative at the state and county level.
