Mdhhs tick self cover book

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is seeking a printing services contract for the production of 3,000 Tick Self Cover Booklets through the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services. The procurement requires a detailed printed deliverable consisting of a 16-page booklet sized 5.5" x 8.5", to be printed in 4/4 color with bleeds, utilizing 80# gloss text for both cover and interior pages. Vendors must be pre-qualified with Print & Mail Management (PMM) and registered with the State of Michigan to participate in the bidding process. The bid requires a comprehensive estimate, electronic PDF proof, and adherence to specific production specifications including saddle-stitching along the 8.5" side and shrink-wrapping in packages of 25. Submissions are due by June 27, 2025, with an expected project completion timeline of 15-20 business days after proof approval. The evaluation criteria will focus on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder is not guaranteed the contract. Vendors will be assessed on their ability to meet technical requirements, past performance, and overall project capability.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Pre-qualification is mandatory, which may inherently limit participation to vendors with established printing capabilities. Shipping and delivery requirements specify that completed materials must be delivered to Bradley M. Schumann at the General Services Building in Dimondale, Michigan, with strict dock hours of 8:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday. Vendors must accept electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments and typically undergo a one-week pre-qualification process. While a specific contract value is not disclosed, the scope involves producing 3,000 booklets, suggesting a moderate-scale printing project. All materials produced will become the property of the State of Michigan, and vendors must provide electronic copies in source software and PDF formats. The contract terms include comprehensive provisions for intellectual property, confidentiality, and compliance with state and federal regulations.
