This document is Solicitation Addendum Four for Solicitation Number 118337 OR, issued by the State of Nebraska's State Purchasing Bureau for Trail Tales Publications. The addendum revises the procurement schedule, with key dates including the solicitation release on March 26, 2025, the last day to submit written questions on April 2, 2025, and the bid opening via Webex online meeting on April 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The bid evaluation period is scheduled from April 11-17, 2025, with an anticipated "Intent to Award" posting on April 23, 2025. The contract is for comprehensive printing services for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, involving four seasonal magazine issues annually, with an estimated 34,200 copies per issue, and an initial one-year term with options for five additional one-year renewals.

The procurement requires vendors to have a six-unit or larger offset web press capable of four-color process printing and produce high-quality materials on 60lb dull or matte coated paper. Pricing will be structured with fixed rates for the first two years, allowing potential price increases limited to 3% with 120 days advanced written notice. The contract includes comprehensive pricing covering all production costs, and the State reserves the right to award based on multiple criteria including price, location, quality, delivery time, and vendor qualifications. Payment terms are set at Net 45, with a 21-day delivery requirement after order receipt, and the contract is subject to state funding availability. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, there appears to be a potential geographic preference for vendors located within 300 miles of Lincoln, Nebraska.
