The procurement seeks printing services for either 10,000 or 15,000 units of educational brochures related to cannabis and driving safety. The evaluation process combined best value criteria with pricing considerations, assessing vendor capability to perform Michigan printing and relevant industry experience. All six evaluated vendors—Image Printing, Lightning Litho, BRD Printing, Inland Press, Lawson, and Colortech—demonstrated affirmative responses across all evaluation categories and confirmed their capability to meet Michigan printing requirements. Turnaround times among bidders range from five to ten working days, with price holds spanning 15 to 25 years. The posting date was April 29, 2026, with a due date of April 30, 2026. Questions regarding the project should be directed to Scott Barclay at 517-636-7744 or BarclayS@michigan.gov.

Lightning Litho was recommended as the awarded vendor, offering competitive pricing of $798.20 for 10,000 units and $996.65 for 15,000 units with a five working day turnaround. Pricing among vendors varied significantly, with Image Printing submitting the lowest quotes at $567.00 for 10,000 units and $849.00 for 15,000 units, while Colortech submitted the highest bids at $1,379.00 and $1,599.00 respectively. The Notice of Intent to Award does not constitute a final award; actual issuance remains contingent upon receipt of an order and final approval by Printing Services, which retains the right to perform the work in-house. Vendors may submit protests to the award decision electronically through Vendor Self Service within the specified deadline. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were identified in the procurement documentation provided.
