Mdhhs eat safe fish in michigan signage W/hardware & posts

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is seeking bids for the production of 139 aluminum DIBOND signs measuring 18" x 24" related to the "Eat Safe Fish in Michigan" public awareness campaign. The signs will be printed with 4/0 ink, include bleeds, and require specific holes cut in the top and bottom to accommodate channel posts. Vendors must provide tamper-resistant hardware and matching channel posts, with a production timeline of 15-20 business days after proof approval. Only prequalified vendors will be considered for this contract, with the bid to be awarded based on best price and value rather than solely on the lowest bid. The bid request requires vendors to attach a detailed estimate, submit an electronic PDF proof, and deliver the signage to Bradley M. Schumann at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan. The bid is due on April 10, 2025, with the opportunity originally posted on April 7, 2025. Evaluation criteria will likely include the vendor's ability to meet technical specifications, past performance, and overall project capability.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan and accept electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments, with a pre-qualification process that typically takes approximately one week. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the contract requires strict adherence to the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management Terms and Conditions. Vendors must comply with comprehensive requirements including specific pallet dimensions (44-48" length, 36-48" width, maximum height of 5'6", and 4,000 lbs gross weight), detailed carton labeling protocols, and delivery logistics. The project involves shipping to a state dock with operating hours from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Friday, and all materials will become the property of the State of Michigan. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves the production of 139 signs with associated hardware and mounting posts, suggesting a moderate-scale procurement effort.
