ORS Retirement Guides 11-25.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of ORS Retirement Guides. The project requires the printing of 10,000 to 12,000 copies of a 16-page saddle-stitched publication with an 8.5 by 11 inch finished size. The cover and text are specified as 80-pound white matte stock with four-color printing and bleeds on both sides. An electronic file will be provided by the department, and vendors must submit one PDF proof for approval prior to production. The finished product must be packed in boxes weighing less than 40 pounds, tied in bundles of 25 units per box.

Vendors must submit detailed quote letters with their bids, and failure to provide this documentation will result in automatic disqualification. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to bid. Award will be made based on best price and value to the state rather than automatically to the lowest bidder, meaning factors such as past quality performance and ability to meet specifications may influence the selection decision. No specific response deadline, award date, or contract term is indicated in the bid request documentation.
