The document is a Solicitation List of Respondents for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) Guides Printing procurement, issued by the State Purchasing Bureau (SPB) with Solicitation Number 121821. The solicitation seeks a printing vendor to produce six different guide types (Big Game, Fishing, Small Game/Waterfowl, Boating, Turkey, and Parks) with estimated annual quantities between 50,000 and 95,000 guides. The bid responses were due on June 5, 2025 at 2 PM, with two respondents noted: Omaha Printing Co. (dba Aradius Group), which was marked as non-responsive, and Printco Graphics. The contract is initially set for one year with potential renewals for four additional one-year periods, with a proposed start date of October 1, 2025, and an anticipated contract award date of July 9, 2025.

The procurement requires vendors to be located within 100 miles of Lincoln, Nebraska, and demonstrate capabilities in rapid turnaround, electronic file processing, and proofing. Technical specifications include paper stock options of 50# uncoated white offset or 60# gloss text, four-color process printing, and specific finishing techniques. The solicitation allows for either recycled or virgin paper stock, with only one stock type to be ultimately awarded. Evaluation criteria will encompass price, vendor location, production quality, and delivery time efficiency, with vendors expected to deliver guides within 2-10 days after final proof approval. While no specific budget ranges or set-aside designations are explicitly outlined, the comprehensive nature of the guides suggests a potentially significant contract value, with the State reserving the right to award based on multiple evaluation criteria.
