Family Preparedness Guide 6-25.docx

This is a bid request document from the Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services for a Family Preparedness Guide printing project. The solicitation is for 5,000 printed guides with specific production specifications, including a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" finished size, 52 pages, and saddle-stitched binding. The document requires vendors to submit a detailed quote letter, with failure to do so resulting in bid disqualification. Electronic files will be provided, and a PDF proof is mandatory for approval before production.

The bid will be awarded based on best price and value, with the understanding that the lowest bidder may not automatically receive the contract. Prequalified vendors only will be considered, and the state reserves the right to reject bids that do not provide optimal value, potentially due to past quality concerns or inability to meet requirements. Printing specifications include an 80# gloss enamel text with 4/4 color printing and bleeds, with packing instructions to tie materials in bundles of 25 and carton pack on 4-way skids with a maximum weight of 40 pounds per carton.
