MSP Property Tag/Trooper Notebook/Spiral Notebook

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is seeking bids from prequalified vendors for printing services to produce four distinct items: 1,000 spiral notebooks measuring 4 inches by 8 inches with 100 double-sided sheets featuring PMS 292 blue lines and black cover printing; 3,000 trooper pocket notebooks measuring 3 inches by 5 inches containing 50 pages with saddle-stitch binding; and 100 MSP property tags measuring 6 inches by 7 inches with clipped corners, reinforced eyelets, and string loops. All items require specific stock grades, ink colors, binding specifications, and packaging in cartons or bands as detailed in the respective bid documents. Vendors must submit detailed quote letters with high-resolution PDF proofs for approval prior to production, and award decisions will be based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest price alone, with consideration given to past quality performance and ability to meet specifications. The bid was posted on October 5, 2022, with a due date of October 10, 2022. All bids must be submitted online with costs inclusive of freight to the PMM dock located at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, on an F.O.B. Destination, prepaid basis, with deliveries accepted Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Only prequalified vendors registered with the State of Michigan and capable of accepting Electronic Funds Transfer payments are eligible to submit bids for this opportunity. Pre-qualification takes approximately one week and can be initiated by contacting designated Print & Mail Management representatives. All shipments must comply with specific packaging requirements, including single-face hardwood pallets with three 2" x 4" runners and maximum pallet dimensions of 48" length by 48" width with a 5'6" height limit and 4,000-pound gross weight limit. The vendor's overs and unders policy specifies that no underruns are acceptable and overruns are at the vendor's expense. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the bid documents. All electronic materials, including source files, revisions, fonts, images, and PDF copies, become the property of the State of Michigan upon submission and must be returned upon request.
