The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, nor are incumbent vendors mentioned. Evaluation criteria will include price, vendor location, production quality, and delivery time efficiency. The procurement allows for either recycled or virgin paper stock, with only one stock type to be ultimately awarded.
