Dyslexia handbook

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for printing services related to the production of a Dyslexia Handbook. The project requires vendors to print either 1,500 or 2,000 copies of a 48-page document (consisting of 44 interior pages plus cover) with specific technical specifications including an 8.5 x 11-inch trim size, 4-color ink printing on both front and back with bleeds, 80-pound cover stock, 80-pound text stock, saddle-stitch binding, and carton packing. The State will provide an electronic PDF file, and vendors must submit detailed quote letters with their bid proposals, as failure to include a detailed quote will result in automatic disqualification. A PDF proof is required prior to production. Award decisions will be based on best price and value to the state rather than solely lowest cost, with consideration given to past quality performance and vendor ability to meet specifications. The bid was posted on June 13, 2025, with a due date of June 18, 2025; however, the solicitation does not specify additional deadlines for questions, bid opening dates, or contract award dates.

Only prequalified vendors with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management (PMM) program are eligible to submit bids, requiring vendors to be registered with the State of Michigan and able to accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments, with pre-qualification taking approximately one week. All bids must be submitted online with complete costs including freight to the state's dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, and deliveries are accepted Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Materials must be palletized on single-face hardwood pallets meeting specific dimensions and weight requirements, with cartons properly labeled according to state specifications; the state will not accept underruns, and overruns are the vendor's responsibility. All electronic materials, including source files and PDFs, become the property of the State of Michigan upon completion. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside designation for disadvantaged enterprises, list any incumbent vendors, or provide an estimated award value or budget range for this procurement.
