About this file

This document is an attachment to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the St. Mary's College of Maryland for Printing Services for External Publications. The RFP outlines the specifications and quantities for three types of publications: the "2024 Mulberry Tree" magazine, an EDDM postcard, and an Admissions Viewbook. The magazine has a 5-year projected quantity range of 18,500 to 20,500 copies, with specific size, ink, paper, and finishing requirements. The EDDM postcard has a projected quantity of 130,000 pieces to be mailed in the tri-county region of Southern Maryland. The Admissions Viewbook has a projected quantity of 26,000 copies with detailed production specifications. The College anticipates making multiple awards under an IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) type master contract, with individual task orders to be awarded on a per job order bid basis.

The RFP does not provide detailed pricing terms or set-aside information. It also does not mention any incumbent contractors or funding sources. The key focus is on the specific publication requirements and the overall contracting approach of awarding multiple IDIQ-type master contracts for printing services.
