This is a Printing Services Bid Request from Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget for MSP Notepad Mouse Pads. The bid solicits quotes for the production of notepad mouse pads in quantities of 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, or 5,000 units. The finished product specifications include a 7.5 x 8.5 inch size with 40 sheets per pad, 4-color printing on one side with bleeds, rounded corners, and binding glued on the 8.5-inch edge. The pads must feature a non-slip rubber dot pattern on the back side of the chipboard, with heavy glue application to minimize page shifting. Electronic files will be provided by the Department, and vendors must submit a high-resolution PDF proof for approval prior to production. Carton packing is required with a maximum weight of 40 pounds per carton.

Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids, and vendors must include a detailed quote letter with picture examples of the chipboard material that will be used; failure to provide this documentation will result in bid disqualification. Award decisions will be based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, and past quality concerns or inability to meet specified requirements may result in rejection of the lowest bid. Vendors are encouraged to propose alternatives to reduce pad movement while maintaining the non-slip requirement.
