DNR DIE cut fish stickers 14 versions

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services has issued a Notice of Intent to Award for RFQ #26-0475 concerning die-cut fish stickers in 14 versions, with protests due by the deadline posted on the Notice of Intent to Award (formal protest deadline not specified in source).

The scope comprises production of 35,500 total stickers across 14 designs: 13 fish species (pumpkinseed, bluegill, walleye, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, Chinook salmon, coho salmon, burbot, emerald shiner, lake sturgeon, muskie, cisco, northern pike) and a youth fishing license variant. Per-design quantities range from 1,000 to 3,500 units. Three vendors competed: ShayLeslie, Wolverine, and Rydin.

ShayLeslie has been recommended for award based on best value to the state, evaluated on pricing, turnaround time, price hold duration, in-state printing capability, and vendor experience. ShayLeslie's pricing ranges from $590.00 to $1,675.00 per sticker version with a 10 working-day turnaround and a 25-day price hold; ShayLeslie operates in Kansas. Wolverine (Michigan-based) and Rydin (Illinois-based) offered longer turnaround times of 20 working days and higher overall pricing. Award will be finalized only upon receipt of an actual order.
