The award recommendation names ATC Healthcare Services, Amergis Healthcare Staffing, P.I.E. Management, and Cell Staff, with awards pending State Administrative Board approval. The solicitation covers temporary medical staffing for the Michigan Department of Corrections and other state agencies across 41 job classifications, including physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, pharmacists, therapists, medical assistants, phlebotomists, and domestic services aides. Best value was the award standard, defined as the best combination of competitive rates across all positions, including historically difficult-to-fill roles, balanced compensation structures, and demonstrated experience placing staff in correctional and psychiatric environments.

Technical evaluation weighted General Requirements at 60 points, Staffing at 25 points, and the Vendor Questions Worksheet at 15 points. Bidders needed at least 80 points to proceed to pricing evaluation. The four recommended awardees scored between 90 and 96 points. Of the 50 bidders, 18 vendors' pricing appears in the bidder pricing schedule, with hourly rates generally ranging from about $16 to $308 and markups from 17.39% to 157%.

The recommended combined award totals $177 million, or $44.25 million per contract. The term is three years with up to three one-year renewal options. The award synopsis reports that proposals were due April 27, 2026, and that the Notice of Intent to Award issued October 23, 2026.
