BSL-m-2259 balancing form

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is requesting bids for printing and binding 50,000 sets of two-part NCR balancing forms (BSL-M-2259) for the Michigan Lottery, with bids due July 2, 2026. Only prequalified vendors are eligible; pre-qualification with Print & Mail Management (PMM) and state registration are mandatory.

The scope is production of two-part NCR forms in finished size 8.5 by 11 inches, printed in black ink on white and canary stock, padded in two-part sets, shrinkwrapped in groups of 50 with chipboard backing, and packed in cartons not exceeding 40 pounds each. Vendors must submit one PDF proof for approval prior to production. Electronic files will be provided by the Department. A detailed quote letter is required with bid submission; omission triggers automatic disqualification.

Award will be based on best price and value to the state, not lowest bid alone. The Department reserves the right to reject bids that do not meet best-value criteria, including past quality concerns or inability to meet specifications. F.O.B. destination delivery applies to the General Services Building dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913 (operating Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., excluding holidays). All packaging and freight costs are borne by the vendor. Pallets must meet hardwood construction standards (44–48 inches length, 36–48 inches width, 5'6" maximum height including pallet, 4,000 pounds maximum gross weight) with two-way entry and clear labeling. No underruns are permitted; overruns are the vendor's financial responsibility. Pre-qualification processing takes approximately one week. Payment is made exclusively through Electronic Funds Transfer following receipt of itemized invoices.
