UD 4 Fire Extinguisher Tag

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget is requesting printing services for the production of fire extinguisher tags. The procurement requires the completion of 150 fire extinguisher tags with finished dimensions of 3.125 by 6.25 inches, printed on 10-point Manila Tag cover stock with black ink on one side only. Each tag must feature fiber patch reinforcement with a 1/4-inch hole and 6-inch wire attachment, and all tags must be bundled in groups of 25 and packed in cartons not exceeding 40 pounds each. Bidders must submit a detailed quote letter with their proposal and provide a high-resolution PDF proof for departmental approval prior to production; failure to include the required quote letter documentation will result in automatic disqualification. The evaluation will be based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bid does not guarantee award if quality concerns or inability to meet specifications exist. The bid submission deadline is September 14, 2023, with the posting date of September 11, 2023.

Only prequalified vendors are eligible to respond to this opportunity, which represents a restriction on bidder eligibility. The solicitation document does not identify any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other protected classes. No incumbent vendors, current contractors, or required technology integrations are mentioned in the procurement materials. The budget range or award value for this printing services contract is not specified in the available documentation.
