The State of Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget (Printing Services) is soliciting bids for EQC 5555-2 septage waste hauler decals in two versions, with bids due November 4, 2026. Only prequalified vendors will be considered, so bidders must be pre-qualified with the State's Print & Mail Management program and registered with the State of Michigan, a process requiring approximately one week.

The RF version calls for 450 sets of two decals with black lettering on a PMS 021 orange background and sequential numbering 0001–0450. The LA version calls for 200 sets with white lettering on a PMS 355 green background and sequential numbering 0001–0200. Each set includes left and right truck decals, and both versions require year updates to 2027 and 2032. Decals measure 6 x 6.5 inches, die-cut with rounded corners and back slit backing, and must be produced on Fasson 700-G vinyl or equivalent outdoor, weather-resistant material with a clear-coat front finish, with durability for a minimum of five years on metal vehicle surfaces. Vendors supply one PDF proof for approval and complete the job within 10 business days of proof approval.

Award is based on best price and value to the state, and the State reserves the right to reject the lowest bidder over past quality performance or inability to meet stated requirements. A detailed quote letter must accompany the bid, and failure to include it results in automatic disqualification. Bids are submitted online and priced F.O.B. destination, freight prepaid, to 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913.
