MSP Spiral Notebook 4 x 8 10-22.docx

This is a bid request document issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget Printing Services for the production of spiral notebooks. The project calls for the manufacture of 1,000 spiral notebooks with dimensions of 4 inches by 8 inches. Each notebook will contain 100 sheets printed on both sides, with PMS 292 blue lines on the interior pages and black printing on the cover (one side only). The notebooks will be spiral-bound at the top with black binding and packed in cartons. An electronic file has been provided by the department, and vendors are required to submit one high-resolution PDF proof for approval prior to production.

Award of the bid will be determined based on best price and value to the state rather than lowest price alone, with consideration given to past quality performance and ability to meet specifications. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids. Vendors must submit a detailed quote letter with their bid response; failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification. The specifications require the use of 65-pound blue cover stock, 50-pound white text stock, PMS 292 and black inks, and carton packing for delivery.
