DNR steelhead vessel DIE cut stickers

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is procuring 2,000 die-cut stickers for the DNR's R/V Steelhead vessel research initiative through its Print & Mail Management (PMM) program. The stickers will be produced at approximately 2.5" x 3.5" in size, printed with 4-color ink on 4-mil white vinyl with permanent adhesive and die-cut crack and peel backer, with text language positioned under the red die-cut line printed on the removable backer. Deliverables must be completed within 15 to 20 business days following proof approval, shrink-wrapped in groups of 100, and carton-packed for shipment to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building located at 7461 Crowner Drive, Dimondale, Michigan 48821. Only prequalified vendors registered with the State of Michigan's PMM program are eligible to submit bids, and vendors must include an electronic PDF proof with their detailed bid estimate or risk rejection. The state awards contracts based on best price and value rather on lowest bid alone, with quality and demonstrated ability to meet requirements being determining factors; past quality concerns or inability to meet requirements may result in bid rejection regardless of pricing. Bids are due by April 24, 2026, with submissions required online, and all materials must be delivered F.O.B. destination with prepaid freight to the state's dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, during Monday through Friday business hours from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

No set-asides or restrictions targeting specific enterprise types or disadvantaged businesses are identified in the solicitation documents. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available procurement materials. Vendors must comply with all standard State of Michigan contract terms, including prevailing wage requirements where applicable, nondiscrimination provisions under Michigan civil rights law, assignment of all intellectual property to the state, and maintenance of all manufacturer warranties. Specific pricing, budget ranges, or award values are not disclosed in the bid request documents; however, vendors must structure pricing with F.O.B. destination terms including all freight costs, with no underruns accepted and overruns at the vendor's expense. All pallet shipments must meet state specifications including single-face hardwood pallets with three 2" x 4" runners, maximum gross weight of 4,000 pounds, and dimensions between 44"-48" length and 36"-48" width.
