MSP Vehicle Evaluation Book 2020

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) Printing Services issued a Request for Quote (RFQ 200000000035) for the MSP Vehicle Evaluation Book 2020 project. This procurement involves printing 400 copies of evaluation books for the Michigan State Police. The evaluation criteria for vendor selection included pricing, turnaround time, whether printing would be performed in Michigan, price hold commitment, and relevant experience. Five vendors submitted bids for consideration: Data Repro, Lawson, BRD, Printwell, and Curtis 1000. Data Repro was recommended as the awarded vendor based on providing the best value combination of evaluation criteria and pricing, submitting the lowest bid at $1,980.00 with a 13-day turnaround time. Data Repro achieved perfect scores of 25/25 on the printed in Michigan location, price hold commitment, and experience factors while scoring 17 out of 25 points on the turnaround criterion. The RFQ was posted on November 12, 2019, with a due date of November 13, 2019, and interested parties could file protests electronically through the Vendor Self Service system within the deadline specified on the notice.

The competing bids ranged from $2,950.00 to $6,244.00, with all vendors except Curtis 1000 committing to printing in Michigan. The DTMB Printing Services reserves the right to perform the work in-house, and an actual award would be issued following receipt of an order. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were noted in the procurement documents. Inquiries regarding the RFQ, evaluation process, or bid protest procedures could be directed to Mark Miller, the print consultant, or Jerry W. M. Monroe, the DTMB Printing Services Consulting & Pre-Press Manager. The award value for this project was $1,980.00 based on Data Repro's winning bid for the printing of 400 evaluation books.
