IC 9423 2027 snowmobile permit decals

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is procuring 100,000 snowmobile permit decals for the 2027 license year through contract opportunity IC 9423. The decals measure 1.875" x 3.5" and must be produced with specific technical specifications including sequential numbering from 000001 to 100000, an encoded barcode in either Code 39 or Data Matrix ECC200 format, 2 mil clear UV overlamination (Fasson Spec 76693), and 3 mil matte white synthetic base (S4600). Each decal must feature a custom silver hologram strip and security tamper cuts to prevent removal and reuse, with Pantone 1505C and black ink printing on the front and black on the reverse. The deliverables must be divided into two shipments: 65,000 decals (serial numbers 000001-065000) packaged in 1,000-unit shrinkwrapped stacks destined for DTMB PMM in Dimondale, Michigan, and 35,000 decals (serial numbers 065001-100000) packaged in 20-unit shrinkwrapped stacks for Marketing Alternatives Inc. in Elgin, Illinois. All decals must be completed and delivered by July 20, 2026, with a press proof required prior to production. Vendors must be pre-qualified with Print & Mail Management and registered with the State of Michigan, located within two hours of Lansing, Michigan due to limited travel availability, and responsible for confidential, secure, onsite destruction of all waste materials. The bid submission deadline is May 13, 2026, and vendors must submit a detailed quote letter with their bid on an F.O.B. Destination prepaid basis including all freight costs; failure to submit a quote letter results in disqualification. Award will be made based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone.

The solicitation is limited to prequalified vendors only, with pre-qualification through Print & Mail Management taking approximately one week. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the solicitation documents provided. Vendors must accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments and comply with all packaging and labeling requirements specified in the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management Terms and Conditions, including use of single-face hardwood pallets meeting specific dimensional constraints and mandatory carton labeling with commodity numbers and piece counts. All electronic copies of materials, including source software files with all revisions, fonts, and images, must be provided to the State and become property of Michigan upon delivery. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the solicitation materials; vendors must submit quotes for evaluation, and payment will be processed within 45 calendar days of invoice receipt or final acceptance, whichever is later.
