DNR public hunting signage

The Department of Technology, Management & Budget on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources is soliciting bids for the production and delivery of public hunting area signage. The procurement involves manufacturing 1,000 units of signage measuring 6" x 18", printed on white .080" high impact polystyrene plastic with UVI inhibitor using black ink (1/0 color). Deliverables must include carton packing for shipment and completion within 10 business days of vendor proof approval. Required qualifications include pre-qualification status with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management (PMM) services and prior online registration with the state; vendors not currently pre-qualified can initiate this process by contacting Jerry Monroe (517-636-0297, monroej1@michigan.gov) or Andrew Hale (517-636-0092, halea3@michigan.gov). Completed materials must be shipped F.O.B. Destination, prepaid, to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan, with all freight costs included in bids. Evaluation criteria prioritize best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, and the Department reserves the right to reject any low bid if quality concerns or inability to meet specifications are identified. The opportunity was posted on May 27, 2025, with a bid due date of May 30, 2025, requiring vendors to submit detailed estimates with their bid proposals or face disqualification.

The bid request does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular organization types such as disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other classifications. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. All bids must be submitted online through the state's established procurement system, with electronic PDF proofs to be provided by the state for vendor review and approval prior to final production. Vendors' bids must account for shipment to the General Services Building dock located at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, which operates from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday excluding standard holidays, and drivers must obtain entry passes from the front office.
