2024 DNR deer hunting digest

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is seeking bids for printing and mailing services for the 2024 DNR Deer Hunting Digest. The requested quantity is 243,060 copies, which must be completed and available in stores by October 22, 2024. The vendor must be able to complete a mail distribution list to approximately 1,350 locations using the DNR's UPS account. The digest will be 76 pages in 4/4 color on 40# white gloss text, with a 4-page 60# white gloss text cover. The binding will be saddle stitch with the copies banded in 20's. Vendors must submit a detailed estimate with their bid, and only pre-qualified vendors will be considered. The Department will award the bid based on best price and value to the state, which may not necessarily be the lowest bidder if there are past quality concerns or an inability to meet the requirements.

The bid request does not provide information on pricing terms, set asides, incumbents, funding requirements, or other financial details. The standard State of Michigan contract terms and conditions would apply to any awarded contract, covering obligations, deliverables, payments, termination, and other standard provisions. The award value is not specified, but the large quantity of 243,060 copies suggests this could be a significant contract opportunity.
