BFS 150 temporary license plates for repeat offender

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services is seeking a prequalified vendor to produce 20,000 three-part NCR temporary license plates forms for repeat offenders. The procurement involves creating a specialized form with specific technical requirements, including a 6" x 12-1/2" finish size and control numbering ranging from H 089476 to H 104475. Each form set will consist of three distinct parts with unique specifications, including different paper weights and a manila tag cover. Vendors must submit a detailed quote letter, with failure to do so resulting in automatic bid disqualification. The bid evaluation will be based on best price and value rather than the lowest bid, with strict production requirements including black text printing and a red pantograph background on Part 3. The solicitation is time-sensitive, with a posting date of March 6, 2025, and a proposal due date of March 11, 2025. Vendors are required to provide a PDF proof with control numbers and adhere to precise numbering and printing specifications.

The contract opportunity appears to be restricted to prequalified vendors, suggesting potential limitations on who can bid. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The procurement requires precise production capabilities, including the ability to create 25 NCR sets per book and 24 books per carton, with no permitted overruns. While a specific budget range was not disclosed, the detailed technical specifications indicate a complex printing project requiring specialized equipment and expertise. The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget reserves the right to reject bids that do not meet comprehensive quality standards, emphasizing the importance of precision and adherence to specifications. Vendors must be prepared to provide a list of missing numbers with the shipment and demonstrate the capability to meet all technical requirements for producing these specialized temporary license plate forms.
