MSP OK2SAY sticker 2

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ number 26*0051) for the production of MSP OK2SAY stickers. The procurement seeks to secure a printing vendor capable of producing stickers in five specific quantity tiers: 5,000, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000, and 25,000 units. The evaluation process will focus on determining the best value to the State of Michigan, considering multiple factors including pricing, turnaround time, price hold terms, and experience with Michigan-printed products. Four vendors submitted bids for this opportunity: SMART SOURCE, Image Printing, ShaysLeslie, and ColorTech Graphics. The solicitation's key objective is to select a vendor that can efficiently produce OK2SAY stickers with optimal pricing and quick turnaround. The contract opportunity was posted on November 12, 2025, with proposals due by November 13, 2025. The print consultant for this project, Scott Barclay, can be reached at 517-636-7744 or BarclayS@michigan.gov for any questions or clarifications.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the bid evaluation demonstrated a preference for vendors with experience in Michigan-based printing. SMART SOURCE was recommended as the awarded vendor across all quantity tiers, with pricing ranging from $2,900.00 for 5,000 units to $10,300.00 for 25,000 units. The selected vendor offers a 10-working-day turnaround with a 20-day price hold. Notably, Image Printing, a Michigan-based vendor, offered lower prices and faster 7-working-day turnaround times but was not selected as the primary vendor. The total potential contract value could range from $2,900 to $10,300 depending on the quantity tier selected.
