Vendor Debarment Policy

About vendor debarment

Vendors can be blocked from bidding and being awarded contracts if they can't perform the duties of the contract responsibly or demonstrate a lack of integrity that could negatively impact the state if we do business with them. A vendor being blocked for these reasons is called debarred.

The Department of Technology, Management & Budget's (DTMB) Chief Procurement Officer or their designee makes all final decisions regarding debarment. 

Debarment in law & policy

How debarment works is explained in the Michigan Compiled Laws, specifically Public Act 431 Section 18.1264. It states:

Sec. 264.

The department may debar a vendor from participation in the bid process and from contract award upon notice and a finding that the vendor is not able to perform responsibly, or that the vendor, or an officer or an owner of a 25 percent or greater share of the vendor, has demonstrated a lack of integrity that could jeopardize the state's interest if the state were to contract with the vendor.

Michigan debarred vendor list

The State of Michigan currently has no debarred vendors. Debarred vendors will appear here if that changes.
