MS-ENV-10 catalog envelope for license plates

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is soliciting bids for 10,000 MS-ENV-10 catalog envelopes for license plates on behalf of the Michigan Department of State, with bids due October 28, 2026. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to bid, and vendors must also maintain active State of Michigan registration and accept Electronic Funds Transfer payments. Awards will be made on a best price and value basis rather than lowest bid alone, with past quality performance and capability to meet requirements considered. Failure to include a detailed quote letter with the proposal results in automatic disqualification.

The scope is catalog envelopes measuring 6-3/4 by 13 inches, printed with the Secretary of State logo in the upper left corner and a flap tagline in Open Sans. Envelopes are produced on 32-pound white kraft stock with a latex seal, regular blade cut, open end, and a 1-1/2-inch flap. Vendors must supply new electronic files and a PDF proof before production, and the proof requires client approval. Envelopes pack 500 per box and 75,000 per skid. Bids must include complete costs with freight to the state dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, on a prepaid F.O.B. destination basis. Dock hours run 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding standard holidays. Pallets must be single-face hardwood with three 2-by-4 runners, with maximum gross weight of 4,000 pounds. The state applies a strict no-underrun policy and places all overrun costs on the vendor. Invoices go to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov and are entered into the VSS system. Payment is due within 45 calendar days of the later of invoice receipt or final acceptance, and all materials become state property. The contract is governed by Michigan law, and vendors must retain records for four years after termination, expiration, or final payment.
