2026 michigan fall turkey hunting regs

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for printing services related to the 2026 Michigan Fall Turkey Hunting Regulations Summary. This procurement requires the production and distribution of 7,400 copies of a self-cover publication measuring 5.375" x 8.375" with 40 total pages, printed on 60-pound white gloss paper with 4/4 color printing and bleeds, saddle-stitched along the 8.375" dimension, and bundled in groups of 20 for delivery. All printed materials must be delivered to approximately 213 distribution locations throughout Michigan—including major retailers such as Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops, Dunhams, Walmart, Meijer, and Sportsman's Warehouse, as well as DNR field offices, customer service centers, and wildlife areas—no later than July 1, 2026 with no exceptions permitted. Vendors must provide both digital and hardcopy proofs prior to production, submit weekly production status updates every Friday until project completion, ship directly to all distribution locations using the state's FedEx account, and include the assigned Sigma Purchase Order number on all shipment modules for tracking. Only prequalified vendors eligible to bid through Michigan's Print & Mail Management program are permitted to respond, and all bids must include a detailed estimate or face rejection; bids are due by May 13, 2026. The state will evaluate proposals based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, with consideration given to past quality performance and the vendor's ability to meet all specified requirements.

This procurement is restricted to vendors that are pre-qualified with Michigan's Print & Mail Management program and registered with the State of Michigan prior to bid submission, with pre-qualification requiring approximately one week. Bids must be submitted online on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis with complete costs including freight to the state's dock at 7461 Crowner Drive in Lansing, Michigan, and no underruns are accepted while any overruns are at the vendor's expense. All shipments must comply with specific pallet specifications, including single-face hardwood pallets with three 2" x 4" runners, deck boards of 3/4" minimum thickness with maximum spacing of 1-1/2", and all cartons must be uniformly labeled with commodity numbers, descriptions, purchase order numbers, package quantities, and carton counts. Vendors must deliver electronic copies of all materials in source software format with all revisions, fonts, and images included, plus PDF format copies, with all materials becoming property of the State upon delivery. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available documents; however, the project scope encompasses printing, distribution to 213 locations, and associated production and fulfillment services within the established timeline and specifications.
