MDHHS NBS PUB 1244 BID REQUEST.docx

This is a Printing Services Bid Request from the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) publication NBS PUB 1244. The project requires the production of 80,000 units of printed materials with a finished size of 3.66 x 8.5 inches. The specifications include 4-color ink on both sides (4/4), a cover stock of 60# offset text, tri-fold bindery finishing to reduce from 8.5 x 11 to 8.5 x 3.66 inches, and shrink-wrap packing in quantities of 50 units. The materials must be completed and ready within 15-20 business days upon proof approval. Vendors must submit an electronic PDF proof and are required to attach a detailed cost estimate to their bid; bids lacking this estimate will not be considered.

Awards will be made based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, with past quality concerns or inability to meet requirements potentially disqualifying even the lowest bidder. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to participate. Completed materials must be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding amounts are detailed in the bid request document.
