2026 MDHHS 5436 NBS Labels Bid Request 6-26.docx

This is a bid request document issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services for the Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). The request is for the production of 60,000 thermal transfer labels with specifications of 2.3125" x 0.25" finish size, intended for laboratory use. The labels must be wound facing in on a 3" core with removable adhesive, corner radius of 0.0625", and configured 1 across on 2.5" carrier width. Labels must maintain adhesion from room temperature to -20 degrees Celsius and are friction fed rather than pin fed. The supplier must provide 10,000 labels per roll, with rolls and cases labeled to reflect code number, quantity per roll, and lot number. Electronic files will be provided by the department, and one PDF proof must be submitted for approval prior to production. Vendors must submit a detailed quote letter with their bid response, and failure to do so will result in disqualification. The department notes that award decisions are based on best price and value to the state, and only prequalified vendors will be considered.

The bid request specifies that labels should use Thermal Transfer Ultra Removable material per FASSION Specification #12906 and be carton packed. A sample of stock may be required for testing purposes. The department reserves the right to award to a bidder other than the lowest price if quality concerns exist or if requirements cannot be met. No specific response deadline, contract term, or pricing structure is detailed in the bid request document.
