DCH 0490

The Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the State of Michigan is soliciting quotations for printing services under Job DCH 0490, with jurisdictions including Grand Traverse County and multiple Lansing City locations. The procurement seeks vendors to produce two-ply printed forms with specific technical requirements: finished dimensions of 7.25 inches wide by 4.75 inches high with a 3/4-inch snap-out tab on the left side. The first ply must consist of 20-pound white bond paper printed in PMS Green ink on both sides, while the second ply requires 24-pound 25 percent rag ledger white paper also printed in PMS Green ink on both sides, with black medium soft carbon interleaved between plies and marginals. Products must be packaged in 50-unit packages and carton-packed on 4-way skids, with electronic PDF proofs required for approval prior to production. The Department will award bids based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder is not automatically selected if quality or capability concerns exist. Only prequalified vendors are eligible for consideration, and all bids must be submitted online by the February 26, 2018 deadline. Quotations must include complete costs with freight to the PMM dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, on a F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis.

This opportunity is restricted to prequalified vendors registered with the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management program, requiring completion of a pre-qualification process taking approximately one week. Interested vendors must accept Electronic Funds Transfer payments and comply with strict pallet and packaging specifications, including single-face hardwood pallets measuring 44 inches to 48 inches in length and 36 inches to 48 inches in width with a maximum height of 5 feet 6 inches and gross weight not exceeding 4,000 pounds. Deliveries are accepted at the General Services Building dock Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., excluding standard holidays, with invoicing directed to Scott Barclay at the designated PMM address. All electronic materials, including source files, revisions, fonts, images, and PDF formats, become the property of the State of Michigan. The procurement documents do not specify pricing terms, contract duration, or award values, nor do they identify any set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or incumbent vendors. Pre-qualification inquiries and administrative matters should be directed to PMM representatives as listed in the Terms and Conditions document.
