MSP Property Tag

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services division issued a Notice of Intent to Award for Request for Quote #210000000159 to procure 2,500 MSP Property Tags. This is a printing procurement conducted through a competitive bidding process that evaluates vendors based on best value methodology, incorporating multiple criteria factors alongside pricing. The evaluation criteria include turnaround time capability, price hold duration, Michigan-based printing status, vendor experience, and overall vendor rating scores. The RFQ was posted on February 11, 2021, with a due date of February 12, 2021. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to deliver within 15 days and maintain price holds for an extended period. Mark Miller, the assigned print consultant, is available at 517-636-7746 or millerm13@michigan.gov to address project questions. Protests to the award decision must be submitted electronically through the Vendor Self Service portal by the deadline specified in the Notice of Intent to Award.

The evaluation process resulted in Complete Source being recommended as the winning vendor with a bid of $392.92 per unit, significantly lower than the competing bid of $550.00 per unit from Shay Leslie. Complete Source received high evaluation scores across all criteria categories, including maximum points (25 of 25) for complete source rating and strong scores (20 of 25) for experience. The competing bidder Shay Leslie scored 16 of 25 points in the price hold category. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses are mentioned in the procurement documentation. The total award value is approximately $982,300 based on the winning bid of $392.92 per unit multiplied by 2,500 units. Printing Services reserves the right to perform the work in-house or award to an alternative vendor if superior value is demonstrated through factors such as improved turnaround time or other criteria.
