PT-1 property tags

The State of Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services is soliciting bids for the production of PT-1 Property Tags, with proposals due by November 18, 2024. The procurement requires the manufacture of 50,000 property tags with finished dimensions of 5 1/4 x 2 5/8 inches, printed in black ink on one side of #6 13-point manila tag stock. Deliverables must include bindery work consisting of a 1/4" hole with fiber-reinforced eyelet and metal wire attachment, with products bundled in groups of 100 and packed in cartons not exceeding 40 lbs each. Vendors are required to submit detailed quote letters with their bids and must provide a color PDF proof for departmental approval prior to production. The state reserves the right to award based on best price and value rather than lowest cost alone, considering factors such as past quality performance and vendor ability to meet specifications. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids for this opportunity, and failure to include a detailed quote letter will result in automatic disqualification. The solicitation does not specify an explicit response timeline for questions or a formal bidders' meeting date.

The procurement document does not identify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions limiting participation to specific vendor categories. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are referenced in the available solicitation materials. The standard contract terms indicate that vendors must be registered with the State's SIGMA VSS system for Electronic Funds Transfer payments and must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including nondiscrimination statutes and Michigan labor practices. Vendors are responsible for all packaging, freight, and shipping costs with F.O.B. destination delivery, and payment for undisputed invoices is due within 45 calendar days of receipt or final acceptance. The contract award value and budget range for this procurement have not been disclosed in the posted materials.
