DCH 0525 NCR

The state of Michigan has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for 10,000 units of NCR (No Carbon Required) forms, titled "DCH-0525 NCR". The procurement is being managed by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services. The print consultant for this project is Brad Schumann, and the deadline to initiate a protest of the award recommendation is posted in the Notice of Intent to Award. The award will be made to the responsible bidder who offers the best value to the state, considering factors such as turnaround time in addition to pricing. The lowest bid of $1,336.00 is from WALKER, with the next lowest bids from IMAGE PRINTING at $1,384.79 and SMART SOURCE at $1,709.15. QUALFON did not submit a bid. The state reserves the right to award to a vendor with a higher bid if it provides better overall value.

The procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The Notice of Intent to Award does not include any specific award values or budget ranges, but the pricing details suggest the total contract value will be in the range of $1,300 to $1,700.
