DCH 0381 11-24 BID REQUEST.docx

This is a Printing Services Bid Request submitted by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget. The project, titled DCH 0381 11-24, requires the production of 2,500 units of a four-part NCR (No Carbon Required) form with specific finishing specifications. The forms are to be printed on 8.5" x 11" stock with a 0.5" snap-out tab at the top, with Plies 1 and 2 printed on white NCR stock and Plies 3 and 4 printed on pink NCR stock. All plies receive the same one-sided black ink print. The project must be completed within 10 business days following proof approval. Electronic files in PDF format will be provided by the state for vendor approval. Proof approval is required before production commences. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids for this opportunity.

Bidders must submit detailed quote letters with their bids; failure to provide a detailed quote will result in disqualification. The completed forms must be wrapped in packages of 100 forms per carton with a maximum weight of 40 pounds per carton and returned to Print and Mail Management. Award decisions will be made on the basis of best price and value to the state rather than lowest bid alone, meaning factors such as past quality performance and demonstrated ability to meet requirements may influence the selection. The state reserves the right to reject the lowest bid if it does not provide the best overall value.
