The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget is procuring printing services for the production of 5,000 Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) tags through a competitive bid process. The procurement covers Grand Traverse County and multiple Lansing City jurisdictions.

The tags require chronological numbering in three locations with corresponding barcodes beginning at number 135756, perforations at specific intervals (1-7/8 inches and 6-3/16 inches from the top) using 30-tooth perforation that tears cleanly without stretching, and delivery in shrink-wrapped bundles of 50. Vendors must submit a color PDF proof for approval prior to production and are required to provide a detailed quote letter with their bid. Only pre-qualified vendors registered with the State of Michigan and accepting Electronic Funds Transfer payments are eligible to respond. The bid was posted on August 22, 2025, with a response due date of August 27, 2025.
