The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services is seeking printing services for the SOS-116 Motorcycle Manual through Request for Quotation (RFQ) #26*0027. The procurement involves printing motorcycle manuals in three potential quantity options: 5,000, 10,000, and 20,000 units. Evaluation criteria for the contract include pricing, turnaround time, and Michigan printing experience, with the state prioritizing the best overall value rather than solely the lowest price. The solicitation requires vendors to provide comprehensive printing services with specific attention to production speed and local economic impact. The contract opportunity was posted on October 27, 2025, with proposals due by October 28, 2025. Interested vendors can contact Kristin Bergan at 517-636-7743 or BerganK@Michigan.gov for additional information about the procurement process.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the evaluation process appears to favor Michigan-based printers, suggesting a preference for local businesses. INLAND PRESS has been recommended as the preferred vendor, with competitive pricing ranging from $6,230.34 for 5,000 units to $18,759.89 for 20,000 units. The procurement allows flexibility in vendor selection, potentially accepting a higher-priced bid if the vendor demonstrates superior turnaround time or other advantageous criteria. Most bidders in this solicitation were Michigan-based printers, with only FREEPORT noted as being from outside the state. The contract appears to have a maximum potential value of approximately $18,759.89 for the largest print run, though actual awarded amount may vary based on the final quantity selected and specific vendor negotiations.
