DCH 0525 NCR

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is seeking bids for printing services under solicitation DCH 0525 NCR, with a deadline of September 9, 2024. This procurement requires the production of 10,000 forms meeting precise specifications: finished size of 8.5" x 11" with a 0.5" snap-out tab at the top, manufactured on four-ply NCR stock with plies 1 and 2 printed on white stock and plies 3 and 4 printed on pink stock, with single-sided black printing containing identical content across all plies and packaging in units of 100 forms per carton not exceeding 40 pounds each. The vendor must submit a sample, proof approval, and a detailed quote letter as mandatory deliverables. Electronic files will be provided by the state in PDF format for vendor approval and use in production. Award determination will be based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, with evaluation considering past quality performance and the vendor's capability to meet the specified technical requirements. Bidders must submit their proposals by September 9, 2024, and failure to include the required detailed quote letter documentation will result in automatic disqualification.

This procurement opportunity is restricted to prequalified vendors only, limiting eligibility to organizations that have completed the state's prequalification process for printing services. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the solicitation documents. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the available procurement materials. The solicitation documents do not specify a budget range or award value for this printing services contract, leaving the final contract amount to be determined through the bidding process based on vendor pricing and the state's evaluation of best value. Interested prequalified vendors should ensure they have the technical capability to produce four-ply NCR forms and meet the state's quality and delivery standards prior to submitting their bids.
