2023-2024 biennial report

The State of Michigan, specifically the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services, is seeking a qualified vendor to produce the 2023-2024 Biennial Report. The procurement involves creating 60 case-bound books with precise technical specifications, including a finished size of 6-1/4" x 9-1/4" and 324 final text pages printed double-sided using Smyth Sewn case binding technique. Deliverables must include one hard copy proof, one PDF proof, and books featuring black text print with gold foil blind embossing on the front cover and spine, utilizing Gane Tuf-coat 896 Black Morocco finish binder board and 80# white cloth end sheets. The bid is limited to prequalified vendors who must submit a detailed quote letter, with the DTMB reserving the right to award the contract based on best price and value. The contract opportunity was posted on May 5, 2025, with a submission deadline of May 8, 2025, covering jurisdictions including Ingham County and multiple Lansing City districts.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions mentioned in the documentation. Vendors must be pre-qualified with Print & Mail Management (PMM) and registered with the State of Michigan, a process that typically takes approximately one week. The pre-qualification process requires vendors to demonstrate capability to meet stringent technical and quality specifications for the biennial report production. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the detailed technical requirements suggest a professional-grade printing project with precise expectations. The contract terms include comprehensive provisions for delivery, with materials to be shipped to the General Services Building dock in Lansing, Michigan, following specific packaging and labeling protocols. Vendors must be prepared to provide electronic copies of materials in source software and PDF formats, and comply with extensive contractual terms including inspection procedures, warranty representations, and potential termination conditions.
