About this file
This document is a Question and Answer set related to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Illinois Secretary of State (ILSOS) for the Printing and Mailing of the Proposed 2022 Illinois Constitutional Amendment Notice. The IFB requests bids for the printing and mailing of 5,687,000 postcard notices measuring 12" x 14" that must be printed in black ink only. The ILSOS will provide the awarded vendor with an electronic high-resolution PDF file to produce the postcards, which will include a QR code and the Illinois State Seal as the only images. The ILSOS is seeking a single vendor to handle both the printing and mailing of the postcards, unlike the previous 2020 bid which separated the two services.
The IFB does not provide sample artwork but specifies that the ILSOS is looking for "optimum laser quality" with clear and legible text, curves, and lines. The only variable data is the name and address, which will be supplied by the ILSOS to the awarded vendor. The contract award will be made to the lowest cost bidder, and the ILSOS reserves the right to award the contract in whole or in part.

Question and Answers Printing and Mailing for the Proposed 2022 Illinois Constitutional Amendment
22-350SOS-SOS35-B-29196
1. Please verify, 5,687,000 of just one lot?
This is the total amount needed to be printed and mailed.
1. Size?
The postcard must be 12” x 14”
1. HOW DOES IS PRINT? Is it full color or just 1 color front and back? Is that black ink only?
It must be printed in black ink throughout.
1. Is there a sample of the artwork?
There is not currently a sample available.
1. ASKING " PROVIDE OPTIMUM LASER QUALITY - Please explain what you are looking for.
ILSOS is asking that all curves and lines in the text are clear and legible when printed.
1. WHAT IMAGES ?
There are only two images planned at this time: a QR code and the Illinois State Seal
1. Is the only variable the name/address?
Yes.
1. HOW WILL FILES BE SUPPLIED? Print files and data files?
ILSOS will furnish an electronic high resolution PDF file to the awarded vendor
1. Is this solicitation to procure preprinted stock that someone else (possibly an in-plant) will add addresses to and then have a vendor mail the postcards or are you asking for a vendor to produce the postcards, address them, and deliver them to the post office?
We are asking one vendor to do both. This is different from the 2020 bid. We decided not to separate out the two services because it is just a postcard instead of a pamphlet.
