This is a procurement specification document for the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), detailing requirements for the provision of flags to be used in the 2026 program year through Annin Flagmakers. The document outlines MIOSHA's specifications for custom flags that will serve as recognition symbols for Michigan businesses that achieve VPP certification status. The flags must meet precise dimensional, material, and construction standards, including specific color requirements, stitching specifications, and durability standards to ensure they withstand outdoor display conditions. The procurement specifies quantities based on anticipated VPP participant numbers and provides detailed technical requirements for flag composition, finishing, and packaging to maintain consistency and quality across all issued flags.

The pricing structure for this procurement is based on unit costs per flag, with pricing terms to be established through competitive bidding. Annin Flagmakers, as the incumbent supplier, maintains the current contract for flag production and supply. The flags serve an important role in Michigan's occupational safety recognition program, providing visible certification markers for participating employers. Funding for this procurement derives from MIOSHA's annual operating budget allocated to the VPP program. The contract term covers the 2026 program year with potential renewal or extension options contingent on continued participation levels and budget availability in subsequent fiscal years.
