Mshda PUB 9 booklet

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services issued a Notice of Intent to Award for RFQ #26*0231 to procure the printing and production of 1,450 MSHDA PUB 9 Booklets. This procurement seeks a qualified printing vendor capable of delivering completed booklets within the specified timeframe. The evaluation criteria for vendor selection included price competitiveness, Michigan printing capability, and demonstrated relevant experience in similar printing projects. Three vendors submitted bids for this opportunity, with IMAGE PRINTING recommended as the awarded vendor at a cost of $369.88 with a five-day turnaround time, while LAWSON submitted a competing bid at $825.00 with a seven-day turnaround time. Two additional vendors, MILLENIUM and PRINTEX, submitted bids but were not prequalified and therefore were not evaluated. The Notice of Intent to Award was posted on April 6, 2026, with a due date of April 7, 2026, and interested parties had the opportunity to file protests through the Vendor Self Service portal within the specified deadline. Inquiries regarding the bidding procedures, awarding decisions, or bid tabulation can be directed to Jerry W. M. Monroe, DTMB Printing Services Consulting & Pre-Press Manager, at 517-636-0297 or monroej1@michigan.gov, or to the print consultant Kristin Bergan at 517-636-7743 or BerganK@Michigan.gov.

This procurement appears to be open to prequalified printing vendors with Michigan printing capabilities, though specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are not detailed in the available documentation. IMAGE PRINTING was identified as the recommended vendor and would receive the award upon final determination by Printing Services, contingent on receipt of an order and the decision to proceed rather than perform the work in-house. The procurement does not constitute a final award, and Printing Services reserves the right to award the contract to an alternative vendor or complete the work internally. The total award value for this project is $369.88 for the production of 1,450 booklets. No information regarding incumbent vendors, existing contractors, or required technology integration was included in the procurement documentation. Additional details regarding vendor prequalification requirements and specific printing specifications may be available through direct contact with the consulting team.
