PT-1 property tags

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services is soliciting bids for the production and delivery of PT-1 Property Tags for use across multiple jurisdictions including Grand Traverse County and three Lansing City entities. The procurement requires the manufacture of 50,000 property tags with specific dimensions of 5 1/4 inches by 2 5/8 inches, printed on #6 13-point manila tag stock with black ink on one side, featuring a 1/4-inch hole with fiber-reinforced eyelet and metal wire attachment. Deliverables must be wrapped in bundles of 100 and packed in cartons not exceeding 40 pounds each, with vendors required to submit a color PDF proof for departmental approval prior to production. The bid was posted on March 31, 2023, with a response deadline of April 4, 2023. Award decisions will be based on best price and value to the state, with the evaluation process allowing for consideration of quality concerns and requirement compliance issues, meaning the lowest bidder is not automatically guaranteed contract award. Vendors must submit a detailed quote letter with their bid submission; failure to provide this documentation will result in automatic bid disqualification.

Participation in this procurement is restricted exclusively to vendors that are prequalified with the State of Michigan's Print & Mail Management (PMM) program, requiring approximately one week for pre-qualification and registration prior to bid submission. All bids must be submitted online, and all costs must be inclusive of freight delivery to the State's General Services Building dock located at 7461 Crowner Drive, Lansing, Michigan 48913, with shipments designated as F.O.B. Destination, prepaid, and subject to strict dock operating hours of Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. excluding standard holidays. Vendors are required to accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments and must provide electronic copies of work in both source software format with all revisions, fonts, and images as well as in PDF format. The solicitation documents do not identify any incumbent contractors or set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises, nor do they specify a contract award value or budget range for this procurement opportunity. All material becomes the property of the State of Michigan upon delivery, and invoices must be submitted to DTMB-PrintingServices@michigan.gov in addition to the VSS system.
