DNR OAC booklet

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking to procure a printing services contract for the production of 1,000 DNR OAC Booklets through the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services. The procurement is being conducted via Request for Quote (RFQ) 25*0585, with a specific focus on printing a specialized booklet with detailed specifications. Five vendors submitted bids for this opportunity: Lawson, Lightning Litho, Rotary Multiforms, BRD Printing, and Image Printing. The evaluation criteria for vendor selection included pricing, turnaround time, experience printing in Michigan, and other unspecified qualitative factors. The procurement timeline indicates a posting date of August 8, 2025, with proposals due by August 11, 2025, representing a brief three-day window for submission. Lawson was recommended as the preferred vendor, offering a competitive bid of $875.00 with a rapid 7-working-day turnaround time.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. The print consultant for the project, Brad Schumann, can be contacted at 517-636-6143 or SchumannB@michigan.gov for additional information. Vendors were provided an opportunity to electronically protest the award through the Vendor Self Service system before a specified deadline, with late protests being automatically disqualified. The total contract value is relatively modest at $875.00, suggesting this is a small-scale, specific printing project. While the document does not explicitly mention incumbent vendors or required technology integration, the evaluation process suggests a preference for vendors with local Michigan printing experience and the capability to meet specific turnaround and quality requirements.
