MDE summer program-yard signs

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is procuring printing services for the MDE Summer Program Yard Signs project. This procurement requires the production of 3,000 total yard signs consisting of 1,500 units each of two sizes: 18 by 24 inches and 24 by 36 inches. All signs must be manufactured as two-sided, full-color coroplast (corrugated plastic) products with H-stakes included and no bleeds, bulk packed on skids for delivery to the specified dock location in Lansing. Qualified vendors must submit detailed quote letters with their bids; failure to provide a detailed quote will result in automatic disqualification. The State will award the contract based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone, considering past quality performance and vendor capability to meet all requirements. Vendors must submit a high-resolution PDF proof for State approval prior to production, and sample submissions may be requested during evaluation. The solicitation was posted on May 14, 2026, with bids due by May 20, 2026.

Only prequalified vendors registered with the State of Michigan are eligible to submit bids for this opportunity. All bids must be submitted online and include complete costs with freight charges on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis to the dock location at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913. Vendors must comply with all packaging and labeling requirements, including the use of single-face hardwood pallets meeting specific dimensional standards, and must arrange delivery during Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, excluding standard holidays. The contract terms establish that vendors bear all costs associated with packaging, freight, and shipping, with title and risk of loss remaining with the vendor until State acceptance. All electronic files and design materials become property of the State of Michigan and must be provided in source software format with all revisions, fonts, and images, plus PDF format. Payment will be processed exclusively through Electronic Funds Transfer via the SIGMA VSS system within 45 calendar days of invoice receipt or final acceptance, with the State exempt from all applicable sales and use taxes.
