MSP FARS Guide 4-26.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of an MSP FARS Guide. The project requires the production of 2,000 copies of an 8.5 by 11-inch flat printed document. The electronic file will be provided by the department, and vendors must submit a PDF proof for approval prior to production. The document specifications include four-color ink printing plus flood gloss UV coating on both sides, with a 10-point coated two-side cover stock and text-weight paper. The finished product must be carton packed with individual cartons not exceeding 40 pounds. No specific response deadline, due date, or award date is indicated in the documentation provided.

Award of the bid will be made based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest price alone, with consideration given to past quality performance and vendor ability to meet requirements. Only prequalified vendors are eligible for consideration. Vendors must submit a detailed quote letter with their bid; failure to include this documentation will result in automatic disqualification. A sample is requested as part of the bidding process.
