Grand Traverse County is seeking binders and file folders for court cases in 2024 through a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the City of Lansing Purchasing Office. The procurement specifically calls for 4,500 11pt manila folders with precise specifications, including side tabs, straight cuts, and two 1" bond fasteners. The solicitation, marked as Q/24/047, requires vendors to provide folders with specific labeling requirements, including a 1 3/8" x 8" consecutively numbered strip label featuring a year band, solid color bar, and color-coded digit bars. Quotes are due on October 4, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. local time and can be submitted electronically through the Michigan InterGovernmental Trade Network (MITN) or directly to the Lansing Purchasing Office. The delivery schedule is structured in two shipments, with the first half due by December 20, 2023, and the remaining balance to be delivered in April 2024. Delivery specifications mandate a truck with a lift gate for inside delivery to the 54A District Court storage area on the 7th floor.

The City of Lansing demonstrates a commitment to inclusive procurement by encouraging quotes from all vendors, with explicit preference given to Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE), Lansing-based job providers, and United States-based manufacturers. Vendors are invited to include any applicable public entity discounts, understanding that the total quantity ordered will be contingent upon budget appropriations and final cost. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves 4,500 file folders with potential variations based on budgetary constraints. The solicitation does not indicate the presence of incumbent vendors or require integration with existing technological infrastructure. The procurement appears designed to be open and competitive, with an emphasis on supporting diverse and local business participation while meeting the specific administrative needs of the 54A District Court.
