Mdhhs canal dibond signage with hardware and poles

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), in conjunction with the Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services, is procuring three 12" x 18" DIBOND signage units with accompanying hardware and poles for the CANAL project across Eaton County and Detroit City jurisdictions. The signage must be manufactured from aluminum DIBOND material (plastic core sandwiched between two sheets of 0.13" aluminum) with 4/0 color printing and bleeds, and each unit must include tamper-resistant hardware and three matching 8-foot channel posts with holes cut in the signs' center top and bottom to accommodate the posts. Vendors must submit an electronic PDF proof with their bid and a detailed cost estimate; bids lacking detailed estimates will not be considered. Project completion is required within 15 to 20 business days following proof approval, with delivery to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant, at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan. The bid was posted on February 20, 2026, with a due date of February 25, 2026. Vendor selection will be based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder will not automatically receive the award if quality concerns or inability to meet specifications exist. Only prequalified vendors with the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management (PMM) program are eligible to bid, requiring approximately one week for pre-qualification completion; interested vendors should contact Andrew Hale at 517-636-0092 or halea3@michigan.gov for pre-qualification inquiries.

All materials become the property of the State of Michigan upon delivery, and vendors must provide electronic copies of all materials in source software format with all revisions, fonts, and images included, as well as in PDF format. The bid request does not specify an overall contract award value or budget range, leaving pricing to be determined through individual vendor estimates submitted with bids.
