OHSP Marketing Brochure 6-26.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the OHSP Marketing Brochure project. The project calls for the production of marketing brochures in three quantity options: 5,000, 7,500, or 10,000 units. The brochures are 16-page documents plus cover with a finished size of 5.5 by 8.5 inches, printed 4/4 color with bleeds on 80# matte cover stock and 80# matte text stock. The brochures will be saddle-stitched on the 5.5-inch edge and bundled in 50-unit packs with cartons not exceeding 40 pounds. Electronic files will be provided by the state, and vendors must submit one PDF proof for approval prior to the production run. Vendors must include a detailed quote letter with their bid submission, and failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification.

The state awards bids based on best price and value rather than lowest price alone, and only prequalified vendors are eligible to compete. Past quality concerns or an inability to meet stated requirements may result in rejection of the lowest bid. The department requires vendors to demonstrate their qualifications and capacity to deliver the project specifications.
