Gas pump inspection decals

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for gas pump inspection decals under a printing services procurement with bids due July 31, 2026. Only prequalified vendors will be considered for award; prequalification with Print & Mail Management (PMM) typically requires approximately one week and is mandatory.

The scope covers 50,001 total decals in two distinct quantities: 5,001 decals with bottom dates of 2026, 2027, and 2028, and 45,000 decals with bottom dates of 2027, 2028, and 2029. Each decal measures 2.5 by 2.5 inches with "Consumer Hotline Complaint" text printed in black ink on a PMS 021 orange background. Decals must be manufactured on 4 mil white vinyl with acrylic permanent adhesive and 1 mil clear overlamination to withstand gasoline, diesel, and sun fade while remaining attached for up to three years. Decals are positioned three up on sheet with waste removed and rounded corners applied during bindery. Packaging requires 100 sheets (300 decals) per wrapped package, with cartons not exceeding 40 pounds maximum. Vendors must submit a PDF proof for approval prior to production.

All bids must be submitted online on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis with complete costs including freight to 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913. Vendors must submit detailed quote letters with their bids; failure to include a quote letter will result in automatic disqualification. The Department will award based on best price and value to the state; the lowest bidder may not receive the award if quality concerns or ability to meet requirements are factors. Vendors must be registered as Michigan state vendors and accept Electronic Funds Transfer payments. Late submissions will not be accepted. Shipments must comply with specified pallet and labeling requirements. Electronic materials become the property of the State and must be delivered in source software format and PDF format.
