PI-175 official sample seal

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget's Printing Services has issued a notice of intent to award RFQ #26*0028 for the printing of 20,000 PI-175 official sample seals to Great Lakes Label at $1,620.92, with the listed due date of October 27, 2026. Protests are submitted electronically through the Vendor Self Service system by the deadline posted on the notice.

Six vendors bid, with prices ranging from $785.80 (Wolverine) to $2,420.00 (Whitlam). Printing Services selected Great Lakes Label over the lowest bidder, Wolverine, because evaluation criteria beyond price determined the award. Those criteria included a 15-working-day turnaround, Michigan manufacturing, and experience. All bidders met the 25-point threshold for the state printing requirement and the 25-point experience threshold. Printing Services reserves the right to perform the work in-house. An award will be issued following receipt of an order and the decision to issue the project to the recommended vendor.
