DNR PR 3330 apperance ticket books

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking a printing services contract for 213 Appearance Ticket Books, each containing 20 sets of 6-part carbonless forms sized 4.25 x 10.375 inches. The procurement is being managed by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) and requires detailed printing specifications, including crash numbering with a 2-character prefix, specific color requirements for different form parts (black, red, yellow, and green inks), and a wrap-around cover made of 125# manila tag stock printed in black ink. Vendors must be pre-qualified and capable of meeting stringent printing requirements, with a mandatory PDF proof required for approval prior to production. The bid is due on February 13, 2025, with evaluation criteria focused on best price and value, taking into account past performance and the ability to meet complex technical specifications. Successful vendors will be responsible for shipping completed books to 23 different locations using DTMB's FedEx account, with specific delivery instructions provided at the time of order.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan and accept electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments. The contract appears to be open to printing services vendors who can meet the technical requirements and have experience with complex, multi-part carbonless form production. While no specific budget range is listed, the comprehensive nature of the specifications suggests a potentially significant contract value. Vendors will need to comply with detailed delivery requirements, including specific dock hours (8:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday) and packaging specifications at the General Services Building in Lansing, Michigan. All materials produced, including electronic files, will become the property of the State of Michigan, and vendors must be prepared to return materials upon request.
