I voted stickers 2026 contest.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of "I Voted" stickers for the 2026 contest. The project requires the production and delivery of 5,000,000 stickers with a finished size of 2 inches in diameter. The stickers will feature 9 different images printed 1-up on rolls, with 1,000 stickers per roll (5,000 rolls total), using removable adhesive on gloss stock wound on 3-inch core rolls. Four-color printing with bleed is required, and vendors must supply electronic files in PDF format with a proof required prior to production. The stickers must be received and mailed out to clerks by the middle of September, and vendors must advise the specific date by which order files must be received to meet this delivery deadline. Packing specifications call for 1,000 stickers per roll, and image cutoff will vary across rolls depending on where the 1,000-label count ends on each roll.

Vendors submitting bids must attach a detailed quote letter with their proposal, and failure to do so will result in bid disqualification. Award decisions will be made on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, and the Department reserves the right to reject lower bids if quality concerns or inability to meet requirements exist. Only prequalified vendors are eligible for consideration. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, response deadlines, or funding amounts are detailed in this bid request document.
