This RFI is designed to gather critical information that may be used to develop a strategic procurement program and potentially create a nationwide Request for Proposal (RFP).

The primary contact for this opportunity is Yvon Dufour from the State of Michigan, who can be reached at (517) 249-0455 for any potential inquiries or clarifications regarding the RFI.

While the document does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations, it appears to be a broad information-gathering initiative that may lead to future competitive solicitations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available documentation. The RFI does not specify a definitive budget range or award value, as its primary purpose is to collect market intelligence about potential procurement solutions for trucks and upfitting services. Potential respondents should carefully review the RFI document and prepare comprehensive responses that address the various commodity codes and service requirements related to vehicle maintenance and modification. Interested parties are advised to submit their responses directly to the State of Michigan according to the instructions provided in the RFI document, which would be detailed in the buyer attachments not included in this summary.
