Vendors must submit electronic PDF proofs for approval, and the completed job must be delivered within 15 to 20 business days from proof approval. Materials should be shipped to Bradley M.

The DTMB awards printing contracts based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder may not be selected if the bid does not meet quality or capability requirements, including consideration of past performance. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids, and all vendors must attach a detailed cost estimate to their bid proposal or risk disqualification from consideration.
