MSP OK2SAY contact cards

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is seeking printing services for the production of MSP OK2SAY Contact Cards, an informational material supporting the state's public safety reporting initiative. The procurement requires vendors to print contact cards in quantities of either 125,000, 150,000, 175,000, or 200,000 units. Each card measures 2 x 3.5 inches in finished size and must be printed in 4-color on both sides with bleeds on 80# matte cover stock. The cards will be bound in sets of 25 and carton packed with a maximum weight of 40 pounds per carton, with electronic files to be provided by the requesting department. Vendors must submit a PDF proof for approval prior to production commencement. The evaluation criteria focus on best price and value to the state, meaning award will not necessarily go to the lowest bidder if quality concerns or inability to meet requirements are identified. All responding vendors are required to attach detailed quote letters with their bids, with failure to provide this documentation resulting in automatic disqualification. The opportunity was posted on September 27, 2023, with a deadline for submission on October 2, 2023.

Only prequalified vendors are eligible to respond to this printing services bid request, which restricts participation to organizations meeting the state's vendor prequalification requirements. No incumbent vendors, existing contractors, or specific disadvantaged enterprise set-asides are identified in the procurement documents. The specific award value and budget range for this contract opportunity are not disclosed in the available documentation, requiring interested vendors to submit competitive quotes based on the specified quantities and printing specifications to determine pricing for the state's evaluation and award decision.
