Mdhhs caro hospital flags (annin brand)

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting online bids on five Annin-brand flags for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services' Caro Hospital, with bids due October 28, 2026. Procurement is limited to prequalified vendors, and bidders must be pre-qualified with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management program and registered with the State before submission, a process that takes approximately one week.

The order comprises two 4'x6' MDHHS flags, one 5'x8' United States flag, and one 4'x6' State of Michigan flag. All flags must be built from Nyl-Glo 100% nylon bunting with full-color designs visible on both sides, rated for 24/7 outdoor display through Michigan weather. Each flag requires 1/4" double-sewn edges on three sides and two brass grommets on the left side with 1-1/2" reinforced sewn edges, built to ANNIN high-quality standards. Bidders must submit a detailed quote letter, PDF proofs, and turnaround estimates, and a missing quote letter results in disqualification.

Award will be based on best price and value rather than lowest bid alone. The state may weigh vendor reliability and quality track record, and past quality concerns or inability to meet specifications may disqualify otherwise lower bids.

Bids must include all costs, including freight, on an F.O.B. destination, prepaid basis to the State's dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913. The dock operates Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and is closed on standard holidays. Late bids will not be accepted. Pricing must absorb all shipping and handling, with no underruns permitted and overruns borne by the vendor. Vendors must obtain entry passes at the front office before proceeding to the dock. Direct shipments to other locations require a signed packing slip emailed or faxed to Andrew Hale, along with shipment notification and expected arrival time. Payment is due within 45 calendar days of the later of invoice receipt or final acceptance, processed by EFT through Michigan SIGMA VSS. Michigan law governs the contract, and the vendor must appoint a Michigan agent for service of process.
