Booster BUG coloring book

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is procuring printing services for the production of a Booster Bug Coloring Book, with bids due by May 12, 2026. The project requires the printing and binding of 40,010 copies of an 8-page, 8.5" x 11" self-cover coloring book on 70# white offset text stock with black printing on both sides. Deliverables must include trimming, folding, saddle stitching, and final trimming operations, with finished books packaged in bundles of 100 and palletized on 4-way skids with a maximum carton weight of 40 pounds. Vendors must submit detailed quote letters with their bids and provide a high-resolution PDF proof for departmental approval prior to production. The State evaluates proposals based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, considering factors such as past quality performance and ability to meet specifications. Only prequalified vendors registered with the State of Michigan and capable of accepting Electronic Funds Transfer payments are eligible for consideration. All bids must be submitted online with complete costs quoted on an F.O.B. Destination basis with prepaid freight to 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, and late submissions will not be accepted.

The solicitation does not identify specific set-asides or restrictions limiting participation to particular enterprise categories, though vendors must satisfy the State's prequalification requirements and vendor registration process. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available documentation. All electronic materials, including source files, revisions, fonts, and images, must be provided in original software format and PDF format, with all materials becoming property of the State of Michigan upon delivery. Vendors bear all costs associated with packaging, freight, and shipping, with title and risk of loss remaining with the vendor until deliverables are received, inspected, and accepted by the State. The delivery facility operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., excluding standard holidays. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the procurement documents.
