DNR OAC booklet

The State of Michigan, through the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is procuring printing and binding services for the production of 5,000 booklets. The deliverables consist of 16-page saddle-stitched booklets measuring 4 inches by 11 inches, with 4-page covers printed on 80# gloss cover stock and 12 interior pages on 80# gloss text stock, all in 4-color process with bleeds, requiring completion within 10 business days following proof approval. Vendors must be pre-qualified with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management program prior to bid submission, a qualification process requiring approximately one week, and must submit bids online with complete itemized cost estimates. Bids will be evaluated based on best price and value considerations rather than lowest cost alone, with factors including past quality performance and demonstrated ability to meet specifications influencing selection decisions. Electronic proofs will be provided in PDF format, and vendors are required to include sample materials demonstrating their capabilities and quality standards with their submissions. The bid submission deadline is April 24, 2026, with all proposals due at that time.

Participation in this procurement is restricted to vendors pre-qualified with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management vendor program; no set-aside designations or specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are identified in the bid documents. All completed booklets must be shipped F.O.B. Destination, prepaid, to the General Services Building dock located at 7461 Crowner Drive, Dimondale, Michigan 48821, with strict packaging requirements including single-face hardwood pallets (44-48 inches length, 36-48 inches width, maximum 5'6" height and 4,000 gross pounds per pallet) and uniform carton labeling with commodity numbers, descriptions, and piece counts. Vendors must obtain entry passes at the dock front office and ensure deliveries comply with dock operating hours of 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding standard holidays. All materials become State of Michigan property upon delivery, and vendors must submit invoices to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov and enter data into the VSS system. No incumbent vendors or award values are specified in the procurement documents; interested vendors should contact Andrew Hale at 517-636-0092 regarding pre-qualification or at halea3@michigan.gov for shipment coordination inquiries.
