CHJ 549 Health Care Request Form 8-24.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the State of Michigan. The project involves printing 250,000 copies of the CHJ 549 Health Care Request Form (revision 5-19), a three-part carbonless form measuring 8.5 x 11 inches in portrait orientation. The form consists of white, canary, and pink pages bound as an NCR pad at the top, with 100-set shrink-wrapped packages containing one chipboard separator each. Part 1 and Part 2 print identically, while Part 3 prints differently. Part 2 requires microperforations across the 8.5-inch dimension positioned 5/16 inches from the top. The finished product must be packed in plain, unmarked cartons labeled only with the form number and quantity, then arranged 10 packages per 1,000 copies per carton on four-way skids for shipment to Jackson, Michigan 49201. Electronic files and a PDF sample are provided by the requesting agency, with a PDF proof required for vendor approval before production.

All bids must include a detailed quote letter, and failure to provide this documentation will result in automatic disqualification. Award decisions are based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, with consideration given to vendor qualifications, past performance, and ability to meet specifications. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids for this printing project.
