This is a bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services for the production of Newborn Screening (NBS) Labels for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The project requires the manufacture of 600,000 labels with specifications of 1.75 inches by 0.5 inches, die-cut with rectangle corners having a 0.125-inch radius. The labels are blank thermal transfer labels based on Fasson Spec #12906, to be converted one side and arranged two across in rolls of 10,000 units wound on 3-inch core rolls. The order consists of 60 rolls of 10,000 labels each. Delivery is to be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant at the DTMB Print and Mail Management facility in Dimondale, Michigan. Roll end labels must reflect the code number, quantity per roll, and lot number on the inside of the roll rather than the outside. An electronic PDF proof must be provided for approval prior to production, and a hard copy proof may also be required.

Vendors responding to this bid must submit a detailed quote letter with their proposal; failure to provide this documentation will result in bid disqualification. The labels feature permanent adhesive backing and require carton packing upon completion. Award decisions will be based on best price and value to the state, and in some cases, the lowest bidder may not receive the award if past quality concerns exist or if requirements cannot be met. Only prequalified vendors will be considered for this opportunity. No specific response deadline, award date, or contract term information is provided in the bid request documentation.
