DNR OAC booklet

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for the production of DNR OAC booklets through its Print & Mail Management program. The procurement requires printing 5,000 booklets, each measuring 4 inches by 11 inches in finished size, consisting of 16 total pages with four-page covers printed on 80# gloss cover stock and 12 pages of text printed on 80# gloss text stock, both in full-color four-color process with bleeds. The binding method specified is saddle stitch along the 11-inch edge, with deliverables including an electronic PDF proof prior to production and completed orders delivered within 10 business days of proof approval to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan. Vendors must submit a detailed cost estimate with their bid to be considered for award, and only pre-qualified vendors registered with the State of Michigan's PMM program are eligible to submit bids, with pre-qualification taking approximately one week. The Department of Technology, Management & Budget awards contracts based on best price and value rather than lowest cost alone, and may reject the lowest bidder if quality concerns or inability to meet requirements exist. The bid due date is April 24, 2026, with all bids required to be submitted online and include complete costs with freight on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis to the designated dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913.

The solicitation does not indicate any specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to disadvantaged enterprises or particular organization types beyond the pre-qualification requirement for the PMM program. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. Vendors are responsible for all costs associated with packaging, freight, and shipping on an F.O.B. destination basis with inside delivery, and must comply with strict pallet and carton specifications, including single-face hardwood pallet construction with specific dimensional and weight requirements, and carton labeling with commodity numbers, descriptions, purchase order numbers, and piece counts. All electronic copy materials, including source files and PDF formats with all revisions, fonts, and images, become State property and must be returned upon request. The specific budget range or award value is not disclosed in the available documents, though vendors should expect payment within 45 calendar days of invoice receipt or final acceptance of deliverables in accordance with Michigan's standard contract terms.
