Gas Pump Inspection Decals 7-26.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of gas pump inspection decals. The project requires the manufacture of 50,001 total decals in two distinct quantities: 5,001 decals with bottom dates of 2026, 2027, and 2028, and 45,000 decals with bottom dates of 2027, 2028, and 2029. All decals are 2.5 by 2.5 inches in size with "Consumer Hotline Complaint" text printed in black ink on a PMS 021 orange background. The decals must be positioned three up on sheet with waste removed and rounded corners applied during bindery operations. An electronic file has been provided by the state, and vendors are required to submit a PDF proof for approval prior to production. Only prequalified vendors will be considered for award.

The decals must be manufactured on 4 mil white vinyl with acrylic permanent adhesive and 1 mil clear overlamination to withstand gasoline, diesel, and sun fade while remaining attached for up to three years. Decals are to be packaged with 100 sheets (300 decals) per wrapped package, with cartons not exceeding 40 pounds maximum. Vendors must submit detailed quote letters with their bids; failure to include a quote letter will result in automatic bid disqualification. The Department of Technology, Management & Budget will award the contract based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder may not receive the award if quality concerns or ability to meet requirements are factors in the evaluation.
