2025 DNR restoration progress yard signs with H-stakes

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ 25*0400) for 2025 DNR Restoration Progress Yard Signs with H-Stakes. The procurement seeks printed signs in multiple quantity options: 50, 75, 100, and 150 units, with specific evaluation criteria including pricing, turnaround time, "Printed in Michigan" status, and vendor experience. The solicitation requires vendors to submit comprehensive pricing proposals for yard signs, with an anticipated production timeline of 10-30 working days. Four vendors submitted competitive bids: SHAYLESLIE, O'KEEFE, MSI, and Lightning Litho, with pricing varying from $415 to $1,645.87 depending on quantity. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Brad Schumann, reachable at 517-636-6143 or SchumannB@michigan.gov. The proposal submission deadline is May 12, 2025, with vendors able to protest the award through the Vendor Self Service system by following specific outlined deadlines.

The procurement does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. SHAYLESLIE was recommended as the vendor of choice, offering the lowest prices across all quantity tiers, though interestingly not meeting the "Printed in Michigan" criterion. The evaluation process aimed to select the vendor providing the best overall value to the State of Michigan, considering factors beyond price alone. While specific budget ranges were not comprehensively detailed, the bid prices indicate a total contract value range between $415 and $1,645.87 depending on the selected quantity of yard signs. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements for this specific procurement. Vendors were required to demonstrate comprehensive pricing, production capabilities, and experience in producing yard signs for government agencies.
