HERO Coloring Book.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget. The project involves the production of a HERO Coloring Book with two quantity options: 5,000 or 10,000 units. The finished product specifications include an 8.5" x 11" format, 16-page saddle-stitched book printed in black on both sides. The vendor must supply an electronic PDF file and provide a PDF proof for approval prior to production. Specific bindery requirements include saddle stitching and carton packing for shipment.

Bidders must submit a detailed quote letter with their bid response; failure to include this documentation will result in automatic bid disqualification. The Department awards contracts based on best price and value rather than lowest cost alone, with consideration given to past quality performance and vendor capability to meet specifications. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids. Cover stock is specified as 60# white offset paper with black ink printing on text-weight paper. The file includes an image (image1.jpeg) which is referenced but not detailed in the written specifications.
