Print Shop Specialty Paper

Contract 645-A3 is a print shop specialty paper procurement vehicle that provides Texas state agencies with access to a comprehensive range of paper products for printing and operational purposes. The contract encompasses multiple paper classifications, including printing and writing paper, transfer paper, foolscap sheets, and carbonless paper, across UNSPSC categories 14111500, 14122203, 14111524, 14111527, and 60121153, as well as NIGP categories covering bond paper, carbonless paper, offset paper, and text paper. Available specifications include papers in 60 lb and 100 lb weights, various sizes ranging from 11x17 inches to 25x38 inches, and finishes such as opaque smooth text, matte cover, silk cover, and offset white roll paper, designed to support the printing requirements of multiple Texas state agencies including the Health and Human Services Commission, Parks & Wildlife Department, Texas Facilities Commission, and Department of Transportation.

The contract is managed by CPA Contract Management, with a master contract period of July 15, 2024 through June 30, 2027, providing statewide coverage across Texas. The vehicle has been awarded to two prime contractors: The Clampitt Companies LLC and Western - BRW Paper Co., Inc., each operating under separate term contracts with individual completion dates of June 30, 2026. The contract structure is classified as a term contract, allowing flexible, as-needed purchasing to support ongoing state printing operations.

The IDV contains two separate awards, each managed by one of the prime contractors. Individual awards under both IDVs demonstrate significant variation in value, ranging from minimal purchases under $100 to substantial procurements exceeding $62,000, with The Clampitt Companies LLC awards typically falling between $2,500 and $18,540.36, and Western - BRW Paper Co., Inc. awards reaching as high as $62,174.28 for the Texas Department of Transportation. Both IDVs maintain aligned performance periods through June 30, 2026, and employ uniform ordering structures at fixed unit prices. The contract supports diverse state agency requirements through a standardized, competitively solicited procurement approach, though specific MWBE/SDVOB participation goals are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation.
