The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for printing services to produce two separate ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) license decals through competitive procurement. This opportunity encompasses two distinct projects: IC 9405-1 requiring the manufacture of 64,000 sequential ORV license decals and IC 9405-2 requiring the production of 58,000 sequential ORV trail permit decals. Both decals must be finished at 1.875 x 3.5 inches with sequential numbering beginning at 00001, printed in two-color format with full bleed PMS 1505 and black type on the front and black ink only on the backing, manufactured from 2 Mil White "Void" Polyester with 1 Mil over-lamination, pressure-sensitive with permanent adhesive, and capable of withstanding temperature ranges from -20 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. All decals must include a generic security hologram strip created by the vendor and be fanfolded in stacks of 1,000 units and shrink-wrapped with consecutive numbers in each box. Deliverables include electronic files in source software format with PDF versions, proof approval routed to Mark Miller, and the final numbered and wrapped products delivered F.O.B. Destination, prepaid to 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913. Vendors must be prequalified with the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management division prior to bid submission, with prequalification requiring approximately one week. The state will award contracts based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, considering past quality performance, ability to meet specifications, and overall vendor qualifications. The posted date was January 3, 2018, with a due date of January 5, 2018. Vendors are responsible for destruction of all scrap material and for the security and safekeeping of the controlled, numbered products throughout production and final delivery.

The solicitation documents do not identify any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, or other restricted categories; however, all responding vendors must meet State of Michigan prequalification requirements and be registered with the state. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. Bidders must submit all proposals online with all costs including freight charges quoted F.O.B. Destination, prepaid, and late submissions will be rejected. All shipments must comply with specific packaging and labeling requirements, including use of single-face hardwood pallets with dimensions of 44" to 48" length, 36" to 48" width, and 5'6" maximum height including pallet, with a maximum gross weight of 4,000 pounds per pallet. The overs/unders policy specifies that no underruns are acceptable and any overruns are at the vendor's expense. Invoicing should be submitted to Scott Barclay, with delivery available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., excluding standard holidays. The specific award values or budget ranges for these procurement projects are not disclosed in the available solicitation documents.
