DCH-0495 patient fund release authorization

The State of Michigan, specifically the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services, is seeking a qualified vendor to produce 10,000 sets of 4-part NCR Patient Fund Release Authorization forms (DCH-0495). The procurement involves printing 8.5 x 11 inch forms using 1/0c black ink on white, canary, pink, and goldenrod NCR paper, with forms to be collated in 4-part sets and packaged in bundles of 100. Vendor requirements include being pre-qualified with the State of Michigan, accepting electronic fund transfers, and capable of producing high-quality printed materials with strict adherence to delivery specifications. The bid request specifies a 10-business day turnaround from proof approval, with award determination based on best price and value, not solely the lowest bid. Evaluation will consider factors such as past vendor quality, ability to meet technical requirements, and overall responsiveness to the detailed printing specifications. The proposal is due by February 20, 2025, with an anticipated project completion date shortly thereafter.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the procurement documents for disadvantaged businesses or minority-owned enterprises. Vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan and able to meet comprehensive print management terms, including specific delivery requirements to the General Services Building in Lansing, Michigan. The maximum project budget is not explicitly stated, but the procurement is for 10,000 form sets with detailed technical specifications. Vendors must comply with extensive contract terms, including F.O.B. destination shipping, electronic invoicing through the VSS system, and providing both source software and PDF format files of the printed materials. Delivery logistics are strictly defined, with specific pallet size requirements (44-48" length, 36-48" width, 5'6" maximum height) and a maximum pallet weight of 4,000 pounds. The contract will require vendors to transfer all intellectual property rights for the printed materials to the State of Michigan and adhere to a 45-day payment cycle.
