The Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Parks and Recreation division is seeking a printing contract for Appearance Ticket Books through the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services. The procurement involves producing 1,000 ticket books, with each book containing 20 sets of 6-part carbonless forms measuring 4.25 x 10.375 inches. The tickets will be printed on 125# manila tag with specific color and printing requirements, including unique face plates, crash numbering starting at #014461, and a double stub design. Only pre-qualified vendors will be considered for this contract, with the award based on best price and value, not necessarily the lowest bid. The bid request was posted on April 7, 2025, with proposals due by April 10, 2025, and expected delivery approximately 10 business days after proof approval. Vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan and pre-qualified with Print & Mail Management (PMM), with a pre-qualification process taking approximately one week. Technical specifications are stringent, requiring precise printing configurations, specific ink colors, and adherence to detailed bindery requirements.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the contract opportunity appears to be open to qualified printing vendors who can meet the state's technical and administrative requirements. The contract will require vendors to follow comprehensive shipping and packaging guidelines, including specific pallet specifications (44-48" length, 36-48" width, maximum 5'6" height, 4,000 lbs gross weight) and detailed carton labeling protocols. Delivery will be to the DTMB Print and Mail Management facility in Dimondale, Michigan, with specific dock hours (8:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday-Friday). Vendors must obtain entry passes, provide identification, and follow specific shipping instructions, including electronic invoicing to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov. Although no specific contract value is listed, the procurement involves 1,000 ticket books with complex printing specifications. Successful vendors must demonstrate capability to meet the state's rigorous technical requirements, maintain detailed tracking and accountability for ticket books, and comply with all state contract terms and conditions.
