International Trade Support Service

The Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) requires international trade support services to provide foreign office services, export development technical assistance, and trade mission support to small and medium-sized businesses. The selected vendor must deliver localized market intelligence, representation, and business development connections in key international markets, including Asia, Canada, Europe, Mexico, the Middle East, India, Oceania, and South America. Onshore USA organizations are eligible to submit offsite proposals to help businesses build export readiness, diversify revenues, and expand sales outside the state. Bidders must submit separate technical and price proposals digitally via email to [email protected], strictly following the subject line formatting guidelines. Questions must be submitted by October 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., and technical proposals must remain valid for at least 90 days from November 6, 2026. Proposals require a signed Independent Price Determination Certificate, an Iran-linked business certification, and a schedule of expenses excluding taxes. Evaluation uses a three-step process based on organizational experience, technical compliance, and pricing, with oral presentations permitted and an 80-point technical score required before evaluating price proposals.
