Mdhhs tick self cover book

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for the production of an MDHHS Tick Self Cover Booklet, a printing services procurement posted on June 24, 2025, with bids due by June 27, 2025. The deliverable consists of 3,000 units of a 16-page self-cover booklet measuring 5.5" x 8.5" with specifications including 4/4 color printing with bleeds, 80# gloss text stock for cover and interior pages, saddle stitch binding along the 8.5" edge, and shrink wrap packing in quantities of 25 units per package. Vendors must provide detailed cost estimates including freight to the General Services Building dock in Dimondale, Michigan, with completion required within 15-20 business days from proof approval and delivery on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis. An electronic PDF proof is mandatory prior to final production, and completed materials must be shipped to Bradley M. Schumann, Print Consultant. Award will be determined based on best price and value to the state, considering quality, past performance, and ability to meet specifications rather than selecting the lowest bid automatically. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids, with pre-qualification taking approximately one week through designated PMM contacts.

Vendor eligibility is restricted to prequalified Print & Mail Management (PMM) vendors registered as state vendors with the Michigan SIGMA VSS system. Vendors must comply with specific packaging and labeling requirements for pallet shipments using single-face hardwood pallets with dimensions of 44"-48" length, 36"-48" width, and 5'6" maximum height, with uniform carton labeling including commodity numbers, descriptions, purchase order numbers, and piece counts. Delivery is accepted at the General Services Building dock Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., excluding standard holidays, and drivers must obtain entry passes at the front office. Electronic copies of all materials must be provided in source software format with revisions, fonts, and images plus PDF format, with all materials becoming property of the State of Michigan. The procurement documents do not specify a listed incumbent vendor, set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, or an explicit award budget range; however, vendors should anticipate that invoices will be paid within 45 calendar days of the later of invoice receipt or final acceptance through Electronic Funds Transfer, with the state responsible for no taxes as fees must be inclusive of all applicable sales, use, and excise taxes.
