Miosha CET 0166 pocket folder

The State of Michigan, specifically the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) through the Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services, is seeking bids for the production of 3,000 pocket folders for informational materials. The procurement opportunity, posted on August 15, 2025, with a submission deadline of August 20, 2025, covers jurisdictions including Eaton County and Detroit City. The pocket folders must be produced with precise specifications: 9" x 12" finish size, 4/4c color printing on 80# cover stock with dull flood varnish, featuring left and right 4" glued pockets and four business card slits on the left pocket. Vendors must submit a detailed estimate and electronic PDF proof, with the project expected to be completed within 15-20 business days after proof approval. The evaluation criteria will focus on best price and value, with consideration given to past quality performance and the ability to meet all project requirements. Prequalification with Print & Mail Management is mandatory, and the submission process requires online bidding with comprehensive cost documentation.

The solicitation appears to be open to all qualified vendors who can meet the state's strict printing and delivery specifications. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, vendors must adhere to the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management Terms and Conditions, which include detailed requirements for packaging, labeling, and delivery. Delivery must be made to the General Services Building dock in Lansing, with specific restrictions on delivery hours (8:00 am to 3:30 pm, Monday through Friday) and pallet specifications. Although no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the procurement is for a relatively small print run of 3,000 pocket folders. Vendors must be prepared to comply with standard state contract terms, including provisions for inspection, potential rejection of non-conforming items, and adherence to state and federal laws. The contract terms also outline comprehensive financial and legal protections for the state, including the ability to terminate contracts for convenience and recover associated costs.
