The event, “Doing Business with the State of Michigan,” was a contracting 101-style seminar held at the Michigan Historical Library in April 2023.
Jared Ambrosier, chief procurement officer, led the event with a keynote focused on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Directive 2023-1 and how it impacts purchasing at the state. The directive calls for the State the Michigan to significantly increase its spend with geographically disadvantaged businesses The Procurement Services team, housed within the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB), is leading the way by hosting and participating in events geared toward GDBEs.
Aside from contracting basics, presenters covered other key topics, which included walking attendees through various purchasing programs, including the Michigan Supplier Community, a program designed at simplifying procurement processes for state agencies while making it easier for the State of Michigan to acquire goods and services from vendors in disadvantaged business areas.
The event also included representatives from the U.S. Small Business Administration and APEX Accelerators. Both organizations are geared towards helping navigate potential vendors through government procurement at all levels – not just at the state. Attendees learned how to negotiate Michigan’s purchasing processes and contracting on the federal and local levels.
