About this file

The document is an Invitation to Bid (ITB) from the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, General Services Division, and State Printing & Mail Services, seeking a contractor to produce 16,000 "Life in Ancient Ohio Trading Cards series 2" for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The project involves printing seven unique digital, full-color trading cards about prehistoric Ohio fossil species, with each card measuring 3.5x2.5 inches on 180lb stock with a satin finish and rounded corners. The cards will be packaged in shrink-wrapped packs of 250, contained in boxes not exceeding 40 pounds, with specific labeling requirements. Bids must be submitted exclusively through the OhioBuys procurement platform by May 7, 2025, with a requested delivery date of June 20, 2025, to the ODNR Geological Survey in Columbus.

The ITB specifies that presswork cannot be subcontracted and requires bidders to complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form confirming service locations and compliance with Executive Orders regarding offshore services and data storage. While no specific budget range is provided, the project involves producing 16,000 cards across seven different designs, suggesting a moderate-scale printing contract. The trading card series covers prehistoric species from various geological periods, indicating an educational resource aimed at promoting Earth science understanding. Invoices must reference job number SRC0000030370, and the procurement appears open to qualified printing contractors capable of meeting the detailed specifications for this educational trading card project.
