Printing Services

Oakland County Procurement Division is seeking comprehensive printing services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Department of Public Communication, with the contract available to all county departments on an as-needed basis. The solicitation covers a wide range of printing requirements, including marketing materials, internal communications, specialty items, and finishing services, with potential project volumes up to 10,000 pieces per quarter. Vendors must meet minimum qualifications, including being in business for at least five years and providing three verifiable references, with preferred qualifications including location within 50 miles of Oakland County, an online ordering portal, and specific certifications like FSC or G7. The evaluation process will assess proposals across seven criteria totaling 100 points, with the highest weights given to responsiveness and minimum qualifications (25 points), turnaround capabilities (20 points), and price proposal (20 points). Key dates include an optional pre-bid conference on July 8, 2025, with questions accepted online by July 10, 2025, at 4:00 pm EST, and proposal submissions due by July 30, 2025. The contract will be a three-year agreement with options to renew for two additional one-year terms.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it emphasizes sustainability and seeks vendors with environmental and social governance goals. The contract appears to be open to a wide range of printing service providers, with no apparent restrictions based on business size or type. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the county reserves the right to accept or reject any responses, split awards among multiple bidders, and conduct interviews or reference checks. The pricing structure is detailed in Attachment A, which includes unit pricing for various printing projects with quantities ranging from 100 to 250,000 units, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. Delivery will be FOB Destination to 2100 Pontiac Lake Road in Waterford, Michigan, with payment terms of Net 30 and prices remaining firm for 120 days after the solicitation due date. Vendors must comply with E-Verify, non-discrimination policies, and provide standard tax documentation including a W-9 form.
