MSP fars guide, visor cards, traffic crash guide

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget, on behalf of Grand Traverse County, is soliciting bids for printing services to produce three distinct products: 2,000 copies of the UD-10 Traffic Crash Guide (a four-page, 8.5 by 11-inch document), 2,000 MSP Visor Cards in five different versions (each 7.8 by 3.85 inches with hole punch and binder ring installation), and 2,000 copies of the MSP FARS Guide (an 8.5 by 11-inch flat printed document). All three products require four-color printing plus flood gloss UV coating on both sides with specified cover stock and laminate materials, carton packing with weight restrictions not exceeding 40 pounds per carton, and electronic file submission with PDF proof approval prior to production. Vendors must be prequalified with the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management program and registered as Michigan state vendors, with pre-qualification requiring approximately one week. Award decisions will be made based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, with evaluation criteria including past quality performance and demonstrated ability to meet specifications. Vendors must submit detailed quote letters with their bids, and failure to include this documentation will result in automatic disqualification. The bid posting date was April 17, 2026, with a due date of April 22, 2026, allowing a five-day response window.

This procurement contains a mandatory restriction limiting bidders to only prequalified vendors within the State of Michigan Print & Mail Management program; no set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other protected classifications are specified in the available documentation. All bids must be submitted online with freight prepaid to the state's dock at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, utilizing F.O.B. Destination terms, and late submissions will not be accepted. All shipments must comply with specific pallet and carton labeling standards, and electronic copies of materials in source software format and PDF format become the property of the State of Michigan upon delivery. Invoices must be submitted via email to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov and entered into the Vendor Self-Service system, with payment of undisputed amounts due within 45 calendar days of invoice receipt or final acceptance of deliverables. No incumbent vendors, budget ranges, or award values are identified in the contract opportunity documents; however, the state retains comprehensive termination rights, ownership of all deliverables and intellectual property, and indemnification protections under the Standard Contract Terms for the State of Michigan.
