The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services issued a Notice of Intent to Award for RFQ #26*0291 regarding the procurement of printing services for MDHHS Form 5416 DADS ENGLISH materials. The procurement involves the printing of 1,000 units of the specified form, with evaluation based on best value criteria that consider price, turnaround time, and bidder experience. Four vendors submitted proposals: Lawson at $918.00 with a seven-day turnaround time, Image Printing at $949.00 with five-day turnaround, Lightning Litho at $977.76 with seven-day turnaround, and Printwell at $1,135.58 with ten-day turnaround. All bidders demonstrated 20 to 25 years of Michigan printing experience and hold price guarantees. Lawson was selected as the recommended vendor based on lowest cost and best overall value. The posting was published on May 12, 2026, with a due date of May 13, 2026, and protests of the award decision must be submitted electronically through the Vendor Self Service system by the specified deadline. Questions regarding the project should be directed to print consultant Brad Schumann at 517-636-6143 or schumannb@michigan.gov.

The procurement document does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations eligible to respond. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information was identified in the procurement materials. The State retains the right to perform the work in-house if elected, and an actual award will be issued only after an order is received and the decision is finalized. The recommended award to Lawson reflects the State's evaluation methodology, which prioritizes the optimal combination of evaluation criteria factors and price, with consideration given to turnaround time when it provides better overall value. The projected award value is $918.00 for the printing services, with the evaluation methodology permitting the State to award to a higher-priced bidder if superior turnaround time or other criteria justify the increased cost.
