FI-132 Condemned For Use Tag Rev12-21

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget issued a printing services bid request (FI-132 Condemned For Use Tag Rev12-21) on December 9, 2022, with a deadline of December 13, 2022, for the production of condemned-for-use tags. The procurement requires vendors to print and finish 1,000 tags measuring 3-1/2" width by 9" length on 13 pt Red Tag stock with a cover weight of 150#-175#. Deliverables must include black ink printing on both sides, perforations located 3-1/8" from the top to create a 3-1/2" by 5-7/8" card at the bottom, reinforced 1/4" holes with metal eyelets centered at the top, 45-degree angle cuts at the top two corners, and perforation at 0.375" from the bottom, with finished products packed at 500 units per carton. The requesting department will provide an electronic file, and vendors must submit a PDF proof for approval prior to production. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids, and the state will award based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, considering factors such as past quality performance and ability to meet all specified requirements. Vendors are required to submit a detailed quote letter with their bid, and failure to include this documentation will result in automatic disqualification.

The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The contract will be governed by the State of Michigan Procurement Standard Contract Terms (Short Form), which incorporates F.O.B. destination pricing, a 45-day payment timeline following invoice receipt or final acceptance, and applicable federal provisions if the contract is funded with federal funds, including prevailing wage requirements, equal employment opportunity compliance, and debarment verification. All deliverables, materials, and specifications become the exclusive property of the State, with vendors responsible for loss or damage until acceptance. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the solicitation documents.
