Mdhhs immunization vaccine projects- 11 parts

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ#: 25*0331) for an Immunization Vaccine Project involving the printing of 11 distinct vaccine-related informational documents. The procurement seeks to produce materials covering various vaccines including Influenza, Meningococcal, MMRV, RSV, Hepatitis B, Varicella, MMR, Polio, and Tdap. Each document set ranges from 20,000 to 50,000 copies, targeting public health communication and education. The bid evaluation process considered multiple factors such as pricing, printing turnaround time (10-15 working days), and vendors' Michigan printing experience. Proposals were assessed to determine the best value for the State of Michigan, with three primary bidders considered: BRD ($10,732.23), Lawson ($10,800.00), and Lightning Litho ($10,446.89). The solicitation's due date is April 8, 2025, with the initial posting made on April 7, 2025, through the state's procurement system. Vendors were required to demonstrate competitive pricing, efficient production capabilities, and understanding of public health communication needs.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises in the provided documentation. Lightning Litho was recommended as the winning vendor at a total price of $10,446.89, presenting the most competitive combination of price and service characteristics. The notice explicitly states that the intent to award does not guarantee a final contract, and the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services reserves the right to perform the work in-house if desired. The total project budget appears to be approximately $10,447, with potential flexibility depending on final contract negotiations. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned beyond the current bidders, and no details are provided about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The procurement seems focused on straightforward printing services for critical public health vaccine information materials, with an emphasis on local printing capabilities and cost-effectiveness.
