Trooper Pocket Notebook 3x5 10-22.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of trooper pocket notebooks. The department seeks 3,000 units of 3x5 inch pocket notebooks, each containing 50 pages with a cover. The specifications include 1/4" lines on text pages printed on both sides, a blank cover, and saddle stitch binding at the top with two staples per book. An electronic file has been provided by the department, and vendors must submit one high-resolution PDF proof for approval prior to production. The notebooks will be packed in bands of 10 and then placed in cartons for delivery. No specific response deadline, bid due date, site visit requirements, or contract award date is mentioned in the bid request documentation.

The cover stock must be 90# Deep Cordwain Blue (or equivalent), while text pages shall be printed on 50# white offset stock using black ink only. Vendors are required to submit a detailed quote letter with their bid; failure to include this documentation will result in automatic disqualification. Award decisions will be made based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder may not receive the contract if concerns exist regarding quality, past performance, or the vendor's ability to meet stated requirements. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to submit bids for this printing project.
