PR 2056-1 Necropsy Tag 11-21.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of necropsy tags. The project requires the manufacture of 10,000 tags with a finished size of 3 x 5.5 inches. The tags must be produced on white Tyvek material with black ink on one side and must include reinforced eyelets with fiber patches and 6-inch wire attachments. Products must be bundled in groups of 50 and packed in cartons not exceeding 40 pounds each. An electronic file has been provided by the department, and vendors are required to submit PDF proofs and may be required to provide test samples for approval prior to production. The tags and printing must withstand washing with water and strong disinfectant solutions.

Vendors submitting bids must provide detailed quote letters with their proposals; failure to submit a quote letter will result in bid disqualification. Award decisions will be based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, and the department reserves the right to reject low bids if quality concerns exist or requirements cannot be met. Only prequalified vendors are eligible for consideration. Specific response dates, due dates, and award timelines are not provided in this document.
