The procurement opportunity covers jurisdictions including Grand Traverse County and multiple Lansing City districts. The primary deliverable is the production of 25,000 to 50,000 brochures with precise specifications: 8.5 x 11 finish size, 4-color printing on both sides with bleeds, printed on 100# matte text stock. Additional requirements include letter folding, packaging in wrapped bundles of 100, and carton packing with a maximum weight of 40 pounds per carton. An electronic PDF proof must be submitted for approval before production. The bid will be evaluated based on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder is not guaranteed the contract. Only prequalified vendors will be considered, and the evaluation will extend beyond pricing to include factors such as past quality performance and ability to meet specific project requirements. The contract opportunity was posted on May 27, 2025, with proposals due by May 30, 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must be registered with the State of Michigan and accept electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments, with a pre-qualification process taking approximately one week. Vendors are required to submit bids online, including all associated freight costs, with delivery to the General Services Building dock in Lansing, Michigan. While no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the project involves producing between 25,000 and 50,000 brochures. Invoicing must be submitted electronically to Printing Services, and all materials must be returnable upon request. Electronic copies must be provided in both source software and PDF formats. Vendors must adhere to strict packaging standards, including using hardwood pallets with specific dimensional requirements and properly labeling cartons with commodity numbers, descriptions, and quantities. The state reserves the right to comprehensively evaluate vendor capabilities beyond initial pricing considerations.
