The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting competitive bids for printing services to produce 600,000 units of Form 6201 #10 Fast Forward Window Self-Seal envelopes. The envelopes must meet specific technical requirements including a finished size of 4.125" x 9.5", a #10 Fast Forward window configuration measuring 1.125" x 4.5" positioned 7/8" from the left and 5/8" from the bottom, manufactured from 24# white wove text stock, and printed with black address and indicia on the outside and black security tint on the inside. Deliverables must be packed at 500 units per box, 2,500 units per carton, and 75,000 units per skid, with delivery on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis to the General Services Building dock at 7461 Crowner Drive in Lansing, Michigan. Bidders are required to submit detailed quote letters with their proposals; failure to do so will result in disqualification. The State will award the contract based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, with consideration given to past quality performance and ability to meet specifications. A PDF proof is required for approval prior to production. The proposal due date is May 12, 2026, with the opportunity posted on May 6, 2026.

Only vendors pre-qualified with the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management division and registered as Michigan state vendors are eligible to submit bids; the pre-qualification process requires approximately one week, and all bids must be submitted online with complete costs including freight. Vendors are subject to strict overs and underruns policies whereby no underruns are accepted and overruns remain at the vendor's expense. All shipments requiring pallets must utilize single-face hardwood pallets with specific construction standards including three 2" x 4" runners, 3/4" minimum deck board thickness, and two-way entry capability not exceeding 48" x 48" with a maximum gross weight of 4,000 pounds. Cartons must be clearly labeled with commodity numbers, descriptions, purchase order numbers, and package counts. Upon delivery, invoices must be submitted via email to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov in addition to entry into the VSS system, and all electronic materials must be provided in source software format and PDF format, becoming the property of the State upon delivery. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified.
