Nascla consumer guide to home improvement projects

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services has issued a Notice of Intent to Award under RFQ 27*0040 for printing the NASCLA Consumer Guide to Home Improvement, with a listed due date of November 3, 2026. The notice recommends BRD, which offered the lowest pricing, and it does not constitute a final award.

Printing Services is evaluating quantity options of 1,000, 2,500, and 5,000 units. Two bidders, BRD and Lawson, were evaluated, and both met all criteria: a 10 working day turnaround, a price hold, Michigan printing capability, and relevant experience. The award recommendation rests on best value, defined as the optimal combination of evaluation criteria factors and price.

BRD quoted $793.73 for 1,000 units, $1,200.00 for 2,500 units, and $1,869.84 for 5,000 units. Lawson quoted $991.00, $1,414.00, and $2,084.00 for the same tiers, respectively.

Printing Services retains the right to perform the work in-house or to issue an actual award upon receipt of an order. Protests must be submitted electronically through Vendor Self Service by the posted deadline. Kristin Bergan serves as print consultant and point of contact.
