The proposal submission deadline is February 18, 2025, at 11:50 a.m. Eastern, with questions due by January 31, 2025. The anticipated contract start date is July 2, 2025, with a transition period until October 1, 2025, when full services must commence without interruption, and the initial contract term runs through March 30, 2028, with two optional one-year renewal periods.
The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The estimated annual budget for this contract is $30 million, covering all required services and overhead costs. While an incumbent provider exists, their identity is not disclosed, and they may or may not be participating in this RFP process. The state will consider overall economic impact during evaluation, including factors such as principal place of performance, Michigan employment, capital investments, and potential tax revenue implications. Bidders must meet minimum insurance requirements and provide three relevant examples from the past five years demonstrating experience in changing audience behavior. The oral presentation phase will evaluate bidders on company information, media planning, research methodology, messaging concepts, and innovative strategies, with a minimum score of 80 points required to advance to pricing consideration.

2/26/25, 2:00 PM 2/18/25, 12:00 AM TREASURY - Address Updating, Direct & Bulk Mailing RFP
The Michigan Department of Treasury is seeking vendors for a comprehensive address updating, direct mail, and bulk distribution services contract (RFP No. 250000001096). The procurement encompasses three primary service components: processing approximately 4.4 million taxpayer addresses through CASS standardization, direct mailing of tax booklets (32,000 MI1040 Books and 340,000 MI1040 CR7 Books), and bulk distribution of various tax forms to libraries, post offices, and other locations. Proposals are due February 28, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, with an anticipated contract start date of June 1, 2025. The contract will have a three-year base term with optional three one-year renewals. Evaluation criteria will be heavily weighted toward technical capabilities (80-90%), with pricing considered only for proposals scoring 80 or more technical points. Vendors must demonstrate strict compliance with IRS Publication 1075 safeguards and Michigan Department of Treasury security protocols, ensuring robust handling of sensitive taxpayer information. Pricing submissions must comprehensively include all associated costs, including setup, fees, shipping, and handling.
The solicitation includes provisions for Qualified Disadvantaged Vendor (QDV) and Small Disadvantaged Business (SDVOB) status, which will be utilized in the evaluation process per Michigan law (MCL 18.1261(8)). Currently, Wolverine Mailing and Packaging holds an existing contract for similar services, though the new RFP suggests a comprehensive rebid of these capabilities. The contract includes significant financial accountability measures, with liquidated damages structured at $5,000 plus $100 per day for late or improper contract performance. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the scope involving 4.4 million address processing and tens of thousands of tax booklet mailings indicates a substantial procurement opportunity. Bidders may respond to any or all service components, providing flexibility for vendors with varying capabilities. The rigorous security requirements and specific technical specifications suggest the State is seeking a highly qualified vendor with demonstrated expertise in secure, large-scale mailing and address management services.
