SOS-116 Motorcycle Manual FY 26.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of a Motorcycle Manual (SOS-116). The project requires the printing of 5,000, 10,000, or 20,000 copies of an 80-page manual with an 8.5" x 11" finished size. The manual will feature four-color printing on both sides (4/4), a self-cover design, saddle-stitch binding, and will be printed on 50# white offset text stock. Materials must be packed in bundles of 25 tied together and placed in cartons with a maximum weight of 35 pounds, then arranged on 4-way skids. All cartons must include visible labeling indicating contents, quantities, and packaging information. Vendors must provide an electronic PDF file, along with both a PDF proof and high-resolution hard copy proof for approval before production commences.

The Department of Technology, Management & Budget awards contracts based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder is not automatically selected if quality concerns or inability to meet requirements exist. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids for this opportunity. Vendors must submit a detailed quote letter with their bid response; failure to include this documentation will result in automatic bid disqualification.
