Mdhhs CWL PUB 10 saddle stitch booklets

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services is procuring the production of 10,000 saddle stitch booklets (MDHHS CWL PUB 10) on behalf of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. This printing project was posted on May 8, 2026, with a due date of May 11, 2026, allowing a compressed three-day bidding window for submission of quotes. The deliverable consists of professionally produced saddle stitch bound booklets with specifications that meet state printing standards. Evaluation criteria include responsible bidding practices, best value assessment combining evaluation factors with pricing, Michigan printing capability requirements, and turnaround time performance. Six vendors submitted quotes with proposed turnaround times ranging from 7 to 14 working days and price hold periods ranging from 10 to 25 years. All bidders were required to affirm their ability to meet Michigan printing capability requirements and respond affirmatively across all evaluation criteria categories. The evaluation process prioritizes best value to the state, with the selection authority retaining discretion to award to higher-priced bidders if superior turnaround time or other qualifying factors justify the selection decision.

The procurement requires vendors to demonstrate Michigan printing capability and meet all specified evaluation criteria. The recommended awardee is BRD, selected at a quote of $3,539.81 with a 10 working day turnaround time and 15-year price hold, representing the lowest submitted bid. Competing bids ranged from $3,968.00 submitted by Lawson to $9,985.00 submitted by Spartan Graphics, indicating a significant price differential across the six responding vendors. The contract award is subject to a formal protest period, with any protests of the Notice of Intent to Award required to be submitted electronically through the Vendor Self Service system within the deadline specified in the award notice. No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendor information is referenced in the procurement documentation.
