Mdhhs 1171 saddle stitch booklets EN, SP, AR

Michigan's Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services has issued a Notice of Intent to Award under RFQ #26*0030 for production of MDHHS 1171 saddle stitch booklets for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, with a listed due date of October 27, 2026. PRINTWELL is the recommended vendor, but the notice does not guarantee an award because DTMB reserves the right to perform the work in-house. An actual award issues only after an order is received and DTMB decides to proceed with the recommended vendor. Protests must be filed electronically through the Vendor Self Service portal within the deadline stated in the notice.

The requirement covers 200,000 English-language, 30,000 Spanish-language, and 15,000 Arabic-language versions of the MDHHS 1171 booklet. The evaluation weighs best value, combining evaluation criteria and price. DTMB retains discretion to award to a higher bidder if superior value is demonstrated through turnaround time or other criteria. PRINTWELL met all stated criteria: a 15-year price hold, a Michigan printing location, and 25+ years of relevant experience.

PRINTWELL submitted the lowest bid at $38,166.95 with a 15 working day turnaround. Six vendors bid in total, ranging from $38,166.95 to $66,218.00, with turnaround times of 7 to 19 working days.

Brad Schumann is the print consultant on the project. Andrew Hale is the designated contact for questions on the outsource process, bidding procedures, and protest procedures.
