BFS-50 temporary 30-60 day registration permit

The State of Michigan, specifically the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB), is seeking a qualified vendor to print 125,000 BFS-50 Temporary 30-60 Day Registration Permits. The procurement involves producing specialized vehicle registration permits with specific design requirements, including a 12" x 5-11/16" finish size, color PDF proof, and a red pantograph with 25% surrounding background. Permits must be sequentially numbered with jumbo large bolded black numbers on the face and corresponding red sequential numbers on the back, printed using lightfast ink to prevent sun fading. Vendors must use 65# uncoated cover stock, black and PMS-202 red ink with bleeds, and submit a detailed quote letter prior to production. The bid is specifically for prequalified vendors, with award based on best price and value, not necessarily the lowest bid. Critical deadlines include a proposal due date of June 3, 2025, with the opportunity posted on May 29, 2025. Vendors must follow strict packaging specifications, including shrink wrapping permits in packages of 50 and providing vertical row sequencing with the smallest number on top.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan and capable of accepting electronic fund transfers (EFT). The permits will be delivered to 7461 Crowner Dr. in Lansing, Michigan, with delivery requirements including dock hours from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday-Friday. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the scope involves producing 125,000 permits with complex printing specifications. Vendors must provide electronic copies of materials in source software format, including all revisions, fonts, and images, as well as a PDF version. All submitted materials will become the property of the State of Michigan. Invoicing must be completed electronically, with submissions sent to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov and entered into the VSS system. The contract terms are governed by Michigan law and include comprehensive provisions for delivery, payment, confidentiality, and performance standards.
