The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is procuring printing services for Request for Quote (RFQ) #26*0190 regarding PR 3026 Concessionaire Boat Rental materials. The procurement requires the production of 2,000 total printed books, organized as 40 books containing 50 pages each, with evaluation criteria including pricing, turnaround time, printed-in-Michigan preference, and relevant experience. The successful vendor must demonstrate capability to meet quality standards and deliver within the specified timeframe. RMI was identified as the recommended vendor with a quote of $775.00 and a 10-day turnaround time, though the actual award will only be issued after an order is received and the decision is finalized.

The procurement documentation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting participation to disadvantaged enterprises or particular organization types. However, the evaluation criteria explicitly include a printed-in-Michigan preference, which may provide competitive advantage to vendors meeting this criterion. Competing bidders included ShaysLeslie at $675.00 (12-day turnaround), Image Printing at $981.00 (15-day turnaround), and Blink Marketing at $3,058.00 (15-day turnaround), demonstrating a range of pricing and delivery capabilities among respondents. The State reserves the right to perform the work in-house or award to a higher bidder if superior value is demonstrated based on turnaround time or other criteria, indicating flexibility in the award decision. The quoted award value of $775.00 for the recommended vendor establishes the primary budget reference point, though final award amounts may vary based on actual order specifications and the state's final award determination.
