This is a printing services bid request from the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production and distribution of the 2026 Michigan Fall Turkey Hunting Regulations Summary. The project requires the printing of 7,400 copies of a self-cover publication with specifications of 5.375" x 8.375" and 40 total pages. The printed materials must be delivered to approximately 213 locations no later than July 1, 2026, with no exceptions permitted. Vendors are required to provide both digital and hardcopy proofs prior to production and submit weekly production status updates every Friday to designated state contacts until project completion. The binding specification is saddle stitch along the 8.375" dimension, with paper banding in groups of 20 for packing.

The cover and text stock is specified as 60-pound white gloss paper with 4/4 color printing and bleeds. Vendors must ship directly to all distribution locations using the state's FedEx account number 294170709 and include the assigned Sigma Purchase Order number on all third-party shipment modules for tracking purposes. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to bid, and all bids must include a detailed estimate; bids without detailed estimates will not be considered for award. The Department of Technology, Management & Budget awards contracts based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, with consideration given to past quality performance and the vendor's ability to meet all specified requirements. The project file will be provided in electronic PDF format.
