Click IT or ticket banners

The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services is seeking bids for Click It or Ticket Banners across multiple jurisdictions including Grand Traverse County and Lansing City. The procurement involves producing 50, 100, 250, or 500 vinyl banners with specific technical requirements, including an 8' x 4' finish size, 4-color printing on one side, constructed from 10oz vinyl material with hemmed edges, rope sewn into top and bottom with 6' extensions, wind vents, and 4 grommets. The banners must be designed to withstand highway-side environmental conditions and have a life expectancy of 6 months. Vendors are required to submit a detailed quote letter, with failure to do so resulting in bid disqualification. The evaluation criteria will focus on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder may not automatically receive the award if they cannot meet requirements or have past quality concerns. The solicitation was posted on October 3, 2025, with proposals due by October 8, 2025. Only prequalified vendors will be considered, and a full-color PDF proof must be approved before final production.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the procurement follows standard State of Michigan procurement protocols that typically encourage participation from diverse vendors. Vendors must be pre-qualified through a process administered by the state, registered with the State of Michigan, and capable of accepting electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments. The contract terms outlined in the Standard Contract Terms document indicate comprehensive legal and operational guidelines, including payment within 45 calendar days of invoice receipt, compliance with non-discrimination statutes, and adherence to various state and federal regulations. Vendors must also be prepared to submit electronic copies of materials in source software and PDF formats. Although a specific contract value is not specified, the requirement for multiple banner quantities suggests a potential moderate-scale procurement. The banners will be packaged by folding to 13" x 13" and must meet strict technical and quality specifications as outlined in the solicitation documents.
