Mdhhs NBS PUB 1244

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services has issued a Notice of Intent to Award for Request for Quote #26*0435 to print 80,000 units of MDHHS NBS PUB 1244, with a proposal due date of August 20, 2026 (today). This is a competitive quote where the award decision has been made but remains subject to protest and final order placement.

Lawson is the recommended awardee, selected as the responsible bidder offering best value based on pricing, turnaround time, price hold duration, and printer experience in Michigan. Lawson's bid was $2,764.00 with a 10 working day turnaround and a 15-year price hold. Six vendors submitted bids; all met the evaluation criteria of printing capability in Michigan and relevant experience. Competing bids ranged from IMAGE PRINTING at $2,988.00 to BLINK MARKETING at $3,566.40, with BRD submitting $2,918.79 as the second-lowest responsive bid. Turnaround times across bidders ranged from 5 to 20 working days, and price holds ranged from 10 to 25 years.

Evaluation prioritized best value rather than lowest price alone; Printing Services retained discretion in consultation with the customer to award to a higher-priced bidder if superior turnaround time or other factors justified the selection. Protests of the award determination must be submitted electronically through the Vendor Self Service portal by the deadline specified on the Notice of Intent to Award. The actual award will be issued only after an order is received and the decision is finalized. Printing Services reserves the right to perform the work in-house. Brad Schumann (print consultant) and Andrew Hale (Departmental Technician) are the listed contacts for inquiries.
