The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for the printing and production of Form 4156 MET Owl Bookmarks, a printing services procurement with a posted date of July 15, 2025, and a due date of July 18, 2025. The procurement encompasses Grand Traverse County and multiple jurisdictions within Lansing City. The deliverable consists of 10,000 finished bookmarks measuring 1-3/4" x 5-3/4", manufactured from 24-point C2S cover stock with 4-color process printing using PMS-293. Each bookmark must include custom die cutting following the design outline, one centered 1/8" hole drilled at the top, and a dark blue tassel affixed through the hole as bindery operations. Products must be bundled in quantities of 50 and packed in cartons with a maximum weight of 40 pounds on 48" x 48" four-way skids stacked no higher than 48" from the floor. Vendors must submit an electronic file and one high-resolution proof for approval prior to production, along with a detailed quote letter; failure to provide the quote letter results in automatic disqualification. The State evaluates bids based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, meaning quality and ability to meet requirements are considered in the award determination.

Vendors seeking pre-qualification with the Print & Mail Management program should contact Andrew Hale at 517-636-0092 or halea3@michigan.gov, with the pre-qualification process requiring approximately one week.

Destination basis, and late submissions will not be accepted.

No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other special classifications are identified in the available procurement documents. The contract incorporates Michigan's Standard Contract Terms (Short Form), which establishes vendor responsibilities for indemnification, intellectual property compliance, confidentiality, and warranty assignment, with disputes governed by Michigan law and resolved in the Michigan Court of Claims.
