OK2SAY Banners

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is procuring the manufacturing and delivery of OK2SAY promotional banners through a sealed bid process. This procurement involves the production of 500, 1,000, 2,000, or 2,500 vinyl banners with finished dimensions of 20 inches by 70 inches, featuring a black background with the OK2SAY logo in specified Pantone colors (Blue 285, Green 360, and Orange 1655), white text, and six grommets. The banners must fold down to 10 inches by 10 inches for storage and distribution, be manufactured in the USA, and be carton-packed with a maximum weight of 40 pounds per carton. All deliverables must be shipped F.O.B. Destination, prepaid, to the General Services Building dock located at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913. Qualified bidders must submit all-inclusive pricing that covers setup, imprint, and shipping costs, with a color PDF proof required for approval prior to production and potential pre-production samples required before the main production run. The bid was posted on November 19, 2018, with a submission deadline of November 26, 2018. Awards will be based on best price and value considerations rather than lowest bid alone, with evaluation criteria including past quality performance and vendor capability to meet requirements, and the state reserves the right to reject bids that do not meet quality standards despite competitive pricing.

Participation in this bid is restricted to vendors that are pre-qualified with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management (PMM) program and registered with the state, with pre-qualification requiring approximately one week to complete. All bids must be submitted online through the established state procurement system, and late submissions will not be accepted. Electronic materials, including source files and PDF formats provided by the state, become the property of Michigan upon delivery. While no specific incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents, interested bidders should contact one of three PMM representatives—Mark Miller, Scott Barclay, or Graham Martin—for pre-qualification assistance. The document does not specify set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses, nor does it identify a specific budget range or award value, leaving pricing to be determined through competitive bidding. Vendors must comply with specific packaging, labeling, and pallet requirements, including the use of single-face hardwood pallets not exceeding 48 inches by 48 inches by 5'6" in height with a maximum gross weight of 4,000 pounds.
