RFQ-171-260000000394-1 | FORM 2615 MET ENVELOPES

The contract solicitation RFQ-171-260000000394-1 issued by the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget seeks the supply of Form 2615 MET Envelopes under a state procurement process, with responses due by July 16, 2026. The solicitation is restricted to prequalified vendors and awards will be made on the basis of best price and value, not simply the lowest bid, allowing consideration of quality, compliance, and past performance alongside pricing. Deliverables must conform to stringent packaging and labeling specifications, including single-face hardwood pallets with specific dimensional and weight limits, uniform cartons with clear identification of form number 2615 and commodity number 4883-9749, and full compliance with F.O.B. destination delivery terms requiring the vendor to assume all shipping, packaging, and freight costs until final acceptance at the State’s General Services Building dock in Lansing, Michigan. All cartons must be properly marked with required commercial information, and containers become State property upon acceptance. The vendor is required to assign all intellectual property and data created under the contract to the State, maintain strict confidentiality of State information, and indemnify the State against claims related to infringement, injury, or breach. Compliance with Michigan’s Prevailing Wage Act and nondiscrimination laws is mandatory, and subcontracting without prior written approval is prohibited. Payment will be made exclusively via Electronic Funds Transfer, contingent upon vendor registration through the SIGMAVSS system, and invoicing must include an itemized statement of charges. The State retains full authority to inspect and accept deliverables within thirty days of delivery, with the right to reject, accept at a discount, or require replacement of non-conforming items. No federal acquisition regulation clauses apply; instead, the contract is governed by state-specific terms including a Change Notice mechanism for modifications, termination for convenience or cause, and an anti-boycott certification under federal law. The procurement does not require representation of small business status, UEI, CAGE codes, or socioeconomic certifications, and no MIL-STD packaging standards are cited, indicating a state-level procurement framework distinct from federal or DoD protocols.
