Dhhs laminated edge seal advocate and reference W/ key rings

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is seeking to procure laminated edge seal advocates and reference materials with key rings through the Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services under RFQ #25*0267. The procurement involves printing 200 sets totaling 1,200 sheets with a mandatory 10-working-day turnaround time. The project specifically requires printed materials that include edge seal advocates and reference documents, likely for internal departmental use or client communication purposes. Three vendors submitted competitive bids: Image Printing at $1,298.00, Colortech at $2,499.00, and Lawson at $3,165.40. The evaluation criteria included assessment of price hold capabilities, Michigan-based printing qualifications, and vendor experience, with each bidder scoring 25 points in these categories. The solicitation was posted on March 4, 2025, with a submission deadline of March 5, 2025, indicating a very tight procurement timeline. Brad Schumann is listed as the consultant contact for potential vendor inquiries.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions on respondent types, the bid evaluation suggests a preference for Michigan-based printing vendors. The recommended vendor, Colortech, was not the lowest bidder but was selected based on a "best value" assessment that considers both pricing and additional evaluation factors. The total project budget appears to range between $1,298 and $3,165.40, with the anticipated award going to Colortech at $2,499.00. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The procurement seems focused on producing specific printed materials for DHHS, with an emphasis on quality, local economic participation, and efficient production turnaround. The relatively narrow scope and short timeline suggest this is a targeted, specific procurement addressing immediate departmental printing needs.
