Community Gap Support Services

The government authority in Lansing, Michigan requires an onshore United States organization to provide free, confidential, individualized business advising, market research, and training services. The selected vendor must fill identified small business service gaps where sufficient advising capacity is not otherwise accessible, while coordinating with small business support hubs, trusted connector networks, and other entrepreneurial support organizations for warm referrals. The vendor will perform the work offsite to extend the geographic reach, capacity, and expertise of the existing state infrastructure. Interested applicants must submit all questions no later than October 14, 2026, and the authority requests proposal submissions for the budget.
