Intent to Participate - Human Centered Design (HCD) Prequal

The State of Montana is evaluating whether to join a cooperative contract initiated by the State of Michigan for Human‑Centered Design (HCD) services. Vendors who can provide design‑thinking, UX research, graphic arts, public‑relations, editing, translation, or training services are invited to submit an Intent to Participate. The Montana solicitation (SPB‑IntoPA‑2026‑0615NH) opens on 22 April 2026 and closes on 7 May 2026. No budget is disclosed; the underlying Michigan contract is a 5‑year base period with up to five one‑year renewals. Montana will decide based on the “best interest” of the State after reviewing vendor responses. • Scope covers Human‑Centered Design consulting, graphic arts, PR, editing, translation, and training. • Vendor must be able to support multi‑stakeholder government projects and provide knowledge‑transfer. • Participation is optional; Montana will piggy‑back on the Michigan award if it deems the contract beneficial.
