The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for a 2-part non-carbon required (NCR) print job (DCH-0503-P) with a quantity of 10,000. The procurement is open to multiple bidders, including Image Printing, ShayLeslie, and Smart Source, in addition to the recommended vendor, WALKER. The evaluation criteria for the RFQ include turnaround time, pricing, and experience.

The other bidders had higher prices ranging from $1,103.90 to $1,310.00 and varying turnaround times and in-state printing capabilities. The Printing Services department may elect to perform the work in-house if deemed appropriate, and the Notice provides instructions for vendors to initiate a protest of the award decision.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Notice does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total award value is not specified, but the lowest bid of $980.00 provides an indication of the budget range for this procurement.
