DNR PR 3330 apperance ticket books

The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services has issued a Notice of Intent to Award for RFQ #25*0233, specifically seeking procurement of PR 3330 Appearance Ticket Books for the Department of Natural Resources. The solicitation requires the production of 213 books, with each book containing 20 tickets, to be used for official documentation purposes. Four vendors submitted competitive bids: Shay Leslie at $2,699.00, Walker at $3,724.00, Image Printing at $3,998.00, and RMI at $4,410.00. The evaluation criteria encompassed multiple factors including pricing, turnaround time, price hold duration, Michigan-based printing status, and vendor experience. Shay Leslie was recommended as the preferred vendor, scoring 90/100 points across the assessment metrics, despite not being a Michigan-based printer. The procurement opportunity was posted on February 18, 2025, with a submission deadline of February 19, 2025, indicating a brief 24-hour window for response.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents were explicitly detailed in the documentation, the procurement process demonstrated a comprehensive evaluation approach that considered both cost and qualitative factors. The solicitation did not indicate mandatory requirements for disadvantaged enterprise participation or specific integration with existing technological infrastructure. The total potential contract value is $2,699.00, representing Shay Leslie's bid, though Printing Services retains the right to perform the work internally, which introduces potential variability in the final award. The procurement appears focused on securing a vendor capable of producing standardized appearance ticket books efficiently and cost-effectively. Notably, while Shay Leslie was the lowest bidder and highest-scoring vendor, the notice emphasizes that the intent to award does not guarantee an actual contract, preserving the agency's operational flexibility.
