The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is seeking procurement for Metal Dibond Signage with Hardware & Poles related to the Oscoda PFAS project through the Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services. The specific Request for Quote (RFQ) #25*0568 involves acquiring 11 sets of specialized signage, with Brad Schumann serving as the print consultant contact. Evaluation criteria for vendor selection included turnaround time, printed-in-Michigan experience, and overall value to the state. Four vendors submitted competitive bids: Rotary Multiforms ($2,180.50), Foresight ($2,312.08), Shayleslie ($3,025.00), and Smart Source ($4,625.80). The procurement process requires electronic submission through Vendor Self Service, with strict adherence to submission deadlines - any late submissions, even milliseconds past the due date, will result in automatic disqualification. The project's due date is set for August 4, 2025, with the original posting date of August 1, 2025.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the bidding process appears to be open to multiple vendors with a preference for local Michigan-based businesses. Foresight was recommended as the vendor providing the best overall value, demonstrating a 5-working-day turnaround and meeting all evaluation criteria. The Department retains the right to perform the work in-house or select an alternative vendor if a higher bid provides superior value. The total project budget appears to range between $2,180.50 and $4,625.80 based on the submitted vendor bids. The procurement is specifically for signage related to the Oscoda PFAS environmental project, suggesting potential environmental communication or public information objectives.
