Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services has issued a Notice of Intent to Award for RFQ #26*0429 (MDHHS 1171 ENGLISH) covering production of 475,000 information booklets and applications, with a protest deadline of August 18, 2026.

PRINTWELL is the recommended awardee at a total bid price of $184,087.92 and 20 working days turnaround. The scope comprises 150,000 MDHHS 1171 CASH booklets, 150,000 MDHHS 1171 SNAP booklets, 140,000 MDHHS 1171 SER booklets, and 140,000 MDHHS 1171 CDC booklets. A printed-in-Michigan requirement was a weighted evaluation factor — PRINTWELL confirmed both printed-in-Michigan status and relevant experience.

Evaluation weighted turnaround time, printed-in-Michigan status, and relevant experience at 25 points each. PRINTWELL scored 25 points on all three criteria. Two competing bidders were evaluated: WOLVERINE at $170,277.39 and FREEPORT at $203,055.00. The award recommendation reflects best value to the State of Michigan, with Printing Services retaining discretion to award to a higher-priced bidder if superior value was demonstrated through turnaround time or other criteria.

Printing Services reserves the right to perform the work in-house. Final award will be issued after an order is received and the decision is made to issue the project to the recommended vendor. Protests must be submitted electronically through Vendor Self Service by August 18, 2026. Contact Brad Schumann, print consultant, at 517-636-6143 or schumannb@michigan.gov for inquiries.
