Description
The State of Michigan is issuing RFQ‑171‑270000000028‑1 for the production of an “Official Sample Seal” (PI‑175). Vendors must respond to four weighted criteria (each 25 points): turnaround time after proof approval, location of printing (in‑state or out‑of‑state), willingness to hold pricing for 30 days, and prior experience with similar seal projects. The solicitation includes extensive standard contract terms covering delivery, inspection, warranties, payment, indemnification, and compliance. No specific quantity, dimensions, or material specifications are provided in the excerpt, so bidders should be prepared to supply samples, pricing, and a production schedule that meets the State’s delivery requirements.
• Respond to the four evaluation criteria (turn‑around, printing location, price hold, experience).
• Provide proof‑approved production timeline and final delivery schedule.
• Confirm whether the seal will be manufactured in Michigan or elsewhere, and detail any subcontractors.
• Offer a firm price that can be held for 30 days and include any applicable taxes (State is exempt).
• Demonstrate prior experience delivering similar official seals or security embossing products.
• Comply with the State’s extensive contractual terms (risk of loss, warranties, indemnification, etc.).
