NIA1-171-260000000539-1 | DNR SHORELINE LIVING- 3 VERSIONS

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) issued a solicitation for the production and delivery of three versions of saddle-stitched booklets under solicitation number NIA1-171-260000000539-1, with a posting date of June 4, 2026, and a response deadline of June 5, 2026. The scope encompasses printing, binding, and fulfillment of “Shoreline Living” Booklet #1, Booklet #2, and an introductory guide to bioengineering techniques, with specified print quantities for each version, all of which must be produced within the state of Michigan. Evaluation for award is based on a best value approach using five equally weighted factors—pricing, turnaround time, price hold duration, Michigan-based printing, and bidder experience—each contributing up to 25 points for a total of 125 possible points, with no formal adjectival ratings or risk classifications applied. The contracting office requires electronic proposal submission via the Vendor Self Service portal and specifies no minimum size status or socioeconomic certifications for eligibility, though all offerors must demonstrate compliance with the mandatory in-state production requirement. Contract administration oversight is managed by DTMB Printing Services located at 7461 Crowner Drive in Lansing, Michigan, with Brad Schumann and Andrew Hale designated as primary contact points for operational and technical matters, though neither holds a formally assigned role as COR or COTR. Delivery performance is tied to vendor-specific turnaround timelines, ranging from 7 to 16 workdays, but no formal period of performance, FOB terms, or detailed packaging and labeling requirements are specified. Inspection and acceptance are presumed to occur at the state facility, with quality standards limited to adherence to printed specifications and adherence to evaluation criteria rather than formal technical or industry benchmarks. The contract type is not explicitly stated but inferred as firm-fixed-price based on the RFQ structure. No formal contract clauses, representations, certifications, accounting codes, or invoicing protocols are documented in the solicitation, and no amendments or contract options are noted, making the award contingent solely on response to the stated evaluation factors and compliance with the in-state printing mandate.
