BSL-m-2259 balancing form

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services has issued a Notice of Intent to Award for Request for Quote #26*0367 to print 50,000 sets of the BSL-M-2259 Balancing Form, with the due date for protests falling today, July 7, 2026.

IMAGE PRINTING is the recommended awardee, selected as the responsible bidder offering best value. IMAGE PRINTING submitted the lowest bid at $2,562.12 with a seven working day turnaround and a 25-day price hold. Four competing vendors bid between $2,735.00 and $7,781.49, with turnaround times ranging from 7 to 18 working days.

Evaluation criteria included pricing, turnaround time, price hold duration, Michigan printing capability, and relevant experience. IMAGE PRINTING met all criteria favorably and is printing in Michigan. The Printing Services evaluation methodology prioritizes best value to the State, permitting award to a higher bidder if superior turnaround time or other factors justify the additional cost.

Printing Services reserves the right to perform the work in-house and will issue an actual award only after receiving an order and confirming the decision to outsource to IMAGE PRINTING. The print consultant is Kristin Bergan, 517-636-7743 or BerganK@Michigan.gov. Vendors may protest the award decision through the Vendor Self Service portal within the specified deadline following this Notice of Intent to Award publication.
