Dhhs eat safe fish booklets-5 versions

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is seeking a printing services contract for the production of Eat Safe Fish Booklets across five regional variants (Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and Upper Peninsula). The procurement involves printing 3,000 copies of each regional booklet, with page counts ranging between 64 and 124 pages. Specific printing specifications include a 5.5" x 8.5" finished size, 4/4 color printing with bleeds, using 80# gloss cover and 80# Lynx Ulta text paper, and saddle-stitching along the 8.5" edge. Vendors must be pre-qualified and submit detailed estimates with their bids, with the contract awarded based on best price and value, not necessarily to the lowest bidder. The project requires completion within 15 business days of proof approval, and electronic PDF proofs are mandatory during the bidding process. The bid is open to vendors as of June 26, 2025, with a submission deadline of July 1, 2025, covering jurisdictions including Grand Traverse County and multiple Lansing City districts.

The procurement appears to be open to pre-qualified vendors registered with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management (PMM) program, with a pre-qualification process typically taking approximately one week. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documents. Vendors must comply with state and federal non-discrimination laws and submit bids electronically with comprehensive cost breakdowns. Delivery is restricted to the General Services Building dock in Lansing, with specific pallet and shipment standards requiring pallets between 44-48" in length, 36-48" in width, and a maximum height of 5'6" with a 4,000 lbs gross weight limit. While a specific contract value was not detailed, the scope involves printing 15,000 total booklets across five regional versions. Invoicing must be submitted electronically to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov, and all materials will become state property, with vendors required to provide electronic copies in source software and PDF formats.
