2025-015 - PRINT AND DISTRIBUTE SELF-MAILER SAMPLE BALLOTS - FINAL.pdf

The document is an RFQ (Request for Quotes) issued by the State of Maryland for the printing and distribution of self-mailer sample ballots. The RFQ seeks quotes from vendors to print and distribute approximately 1,300,000 sample ballots for the 2025 election cycle. Responses are due by 1:00 PM on May 15, 2025, with a contract award expected by June 1, 2025. The contract term is for one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year periods.

The RFQ outlines specific requirements for the printed materials, including size, paper stock, and mailing instructions. Pricing must be provided on a per-unit basis, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The State may set aside a portion of the work for small and minority-owned businesses. There is no incumbent vendor identified, and the funding for this project will come from the state's general election budget.
