DCH 0508 bunny occluder (4 colors)

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ) #25*0458 for the procurement of DCH 0508 Bunny Occluders. The contract involves acquiring 100,000 total units, with a specific distribution of 25,000 units in each of four colors: yellow, pink, blue, and green. Evaluation criteria for vendor selection include pricing, turnaround time, and Michigan printing experience. The procurement process considered bids from four vendors: O'Keefe, Lawson, BRD, and RMI, with bid prices ranging from $3,636.00 to $8,500.00. O'Keefe has been recommended as the winning vendor, offering the lowest bid of $3,636.00 and a 16-working day turnaround time. The due date for this contract opportunity is June 10, 2025, with the posting date being June 9, 2025. Vendors interested in the opportunity can electronically protest the award through the Vendor Self Service system within the specified deadline, and the project print consultant is Brad Schumann, who can be contacted at 517-636-6143.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations. All four bidders met the evaluation criteria of being printed in Michigan and having equivalent experience ratings. The Department reserves the right to award the contract based on best value, which may not necessarily be the lowest price. The total contract value is $3,636.00 for the 100,000 Bunny Occluders, representing a relatively small-scale procurement. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements for integration. The procurement process seems open to qualified printing vendors with Michigan-based operations, with the primary focus on delivering four-color Bunny Occluders within a specified turnaround time and meeting the department's quality and pricing requirements.
