Dyslexia handbook

The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for printing services to produce a Dyslexia Handbook, targeting a print run of 1,500 to 2,000 copies. The specific printing requirements include an 8-1/2 x 11 inch finish size, 48 total pages (44 interior pages plus cover), with 4/4 color ink and bleeds, printed on 80# cover and 80# text stock. The handbook will be saddle-stitched and require a PDF proof. This procurement opportunity spans multiple jurisdictions, including Grand Traverse County and various Lansing City districts. Vendors must submit a detailed quote letter, with failure to do so resulting in automatic bid disqualification. The bid will be awarded based on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder is not guaranteed the contract. Only prequalified vendors will be considered, and the department retains the right to reject bids due to past quality concerns or inability to meet specified requirements. The solicitation was posted on June 13, 2025, with proposals due by June 18, 2025.

The contract opportunity appears to be open to all qualified vendors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Potential bidders must be pre-qualified with Print & Mail Management (PMM) and registered with the State of Michigan, with the pre-qualification process taking approximately one week. Vendors must be prepared to submit bids online, including all costs and freight to the delivery dock located at 7461 Crowner Dr. in Lansing, MI. While no specific contract value or budget range is explicitly stated, vendors must adhere to strict logistical requirements, including precise pallet and packaging specifications, and delivery protocols. Electronic invoicing is required, with submissions to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov. All materials must include electronic copies in source software and PDF format. The contract terms are governed by Michigan law, with any disputes to be resolved in the Michigan Court of Claims. Vendors should be prepared to comply with comprehensive legal and logistical requirements outlined in the state's standard contract terms.
