DCH 1181 Family Support Subsidy Program Application BID REQUEST 5-26.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the DCH-1181 Family Support Subsidy Program Application. The department is requesting the production of 5,000 sets of five-part forms with specific dimensions of 8.5 x 14 inches including a 5/8-inch perforated stub at the top. Each set comprises two blue offset instruction pages (20# weight, black ink on one side each), followed by three carbonless forms (white, yellow, and pink NCR paper, each printed one-sided with black and red marginal text). Parts 1 and 2 serve as instructions with blue offset background, while Parts 3, 4, and 5 are NCR forms designated for MDHHS, CMSHP, and Parent/Guardian respectively. The vendor must provide a detailed quote letter with their bid, failure to do so results in automatic disqualification. The job must be completed within 10 business days from proof approval. Electronic files will be provided by the department, with one PDF proof required for approval prior to production.

Pricing and award decisions will be determined on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, with past quality performance and ability to meet requirements as determining factors. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to bid. All finished sets must be shrink-wrapped in quantities of 50 with carton packing limited to no more than 40 pounds per carton. The bid request includes sample images and requires vendor submission of detailed quotes as a mandatory component of the bidding process.
