DMVA Dual Pocket Folders

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services is seeking bids for the production of MVAA Dual Pocket Folders through a prequalified vendor procurement process. The contract opportunity requires the manufacturing of 9" x 12" folders with two 4-inch glued pockets and four diagonal business card slits in the left pocket. Printing specifications include heavy 4-color printing with UV coating on one side, utilizing 100# Gloss Coated Cover stock. The procurement offers two quantity options: 5,000 and 10,000 units, with production requirements involving die cutting, scoring, folding, and gluing. Vendors must submit PDF proofs for approval prior to printing, and the final product must be carton packed. The bid was posted on December 9, 2020, with a submission deadline of December 14, 2020. Evaluation criteria will focus on best price and value to the state, considering factors beyond just the lowest bid, including vendor past performance and ability to meet specified requirements.

The procurement appears to be restricted to prequalified vendors, which suggests potential limitations on participation. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The contract does not provide details about specific award values or comprehensive budget ranges for the folder production. While the document indicates two quantity options (5,000 and 10,000 units), no precise pricing information is disclosed. The procurement is specifically for the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA), indicating a targeted government procurement for internal administrative materials. The competitive bidding process emphasizes the state's focus on obtaining high-quality printed materials through a selective vendor selection process that prioritizes overall value and vendor capabilities over pure price considerations.
