DCH-0503-P (9-24) Bid Request.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of 10,000 two-part NCR (no carbon required) sets. The print job specifications include 8.5 x 11 inch finished size with 4/0 color (four-color process on one side, black on reverse) printing in black and Pantone green. The sets consist of white part one and canary yellow part two, printed on 20# text stock, and must be completed within 15-20 business days following proof approval. Bindery services include shrink wrapping with 100 sets per package, with one 8.5 x 11 inch chipboard insert per package, and final carton packing. Completed materials must be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan. The bid process requires vendors to submit detailed cost estimates with their proposals; bids lacking this documentation will be disqualified.

Award decisions will be made based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, with consideration given to factors such as past quality performance and ability to meet project requirements. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to participate. Vendors must provide an electronic PDF proof as part of the bid submission process. The department reserves the right to reject bids that do not meet quality standards or demonstrate capacity to fulfill the contract requirements within the specified timeline.
