LM Trustee Manual

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for printing services to produce LM Trustee Manuals. The procurement requires vendors to print 1,250 copies of a 108-page manual (consisting of 104 interior pages plus cover) in an 8.5 by 11-inch finished size with four-color printing and bleeds on both sides. The specifications include an 80-pound white gloss cover stock, 70-pound white offset text stock, and white plastic spiral binding, with the electronic file to be supplied by the department. Vendors must provide a hard copy proof as part of their submission. The Department of Technology, Management & Budget will evaluate bids based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, and reserves the right to reject bids that do not meet quality standards or contractual requirements. The deadline for bid submission is March 2, 2023, with the original posting date of February 24, 2023. Vendors must submit detailed quote letters with their bids, as failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification.

Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids for this printing services contract. The bid request document does not identify any specific set-aside provisions, disadvantaged enterprise designations, incumbent vendor information, contract renewal options, or specific award values and budget ranges. Interested vendors should note that the Department of Technology, Management & Budget does not identify specific response dates for questions, site visit requirements, or an official award date in the available procurement documentation.
