LEO 10 x 13 Gum Seal White Catalog Envelope

The State of Michigan, Department of Technology, Management and Budget, is seeking bids for the procurement of 500 units of 10 x 13 inch white gum seal catalog envelopes with black ink (1/0 color) printing. This printing services solicitation is posted for Eaton County and Detroit City jurisdictions with a bid due date of November 17, 2025. The envelopes must be completed and delivered within 15-20 business days following proof approval, with an electronic PDF proof required for vendor approval before production commences. All completed materials must be shipped F.O.B. Destination, prepaid, to Bradley M. Schumann at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan, with bindery work including carton packing of the finished product. Vendors must submit detailed cost estimates as part of their bid submissions, and only prequalified vendors with the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management (PMM) program are eligible to participate. Award evaluation is based on best price and value to the state, with consideration given to past performance and vendor reliability; the lowest bid does not automatically receive the award if quality concerns or inability to meet requirements are identified.

Participation in this procurement is restricted to vendors that are prequalified with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management program and registered with the State, accepting electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments, with prequalification typically requiring approximately one week. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. Bids must be submitted online and must include all costs with freight to the designated dock location on an F.O.B. Destination basis, with late bids rejected without consideration. The Standard Contract Terms establish critical operational requirements including a 45-calendar-day payment timeline from receipt of invoice, a 10-calendar-day correction period for non-conforming deliverables, and vendor responsibility for maintaining records for four years following contract termination. All electronic copies of materials become the exclusive property of the State of Michigan and must be provided in source software format as well as PDF format. While no specific budget range is provided in the solicitation materials, the procurement specifications for 500 catalog envelopes suggest a relatively modest contract value appropriate for routine printing services.
