WIC Food Guide - English 10-23.docx

This is a printing services bid request issued by the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for the production of WIC Food Guides in English. The project requires the printing of 42,000 copies of a 52-page document with a finished size of 4.5 by 9 inches. The publication will feature 4-color printing on both sides with bleeds, a 100-pound gloss cover, 80-pound gloss text stock, and saddle-stitched binding along the 9-inch edge. Units will be tied in tens and packed in cartons not exceeding 40 pounds each. Electronic files will be provided by the state, and vendors must submit a color PDF proof for approval prior to production. The bid request does not specify response or delivery dates.

The Department of Technology, Management & Budget will award the contract based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder may not necessarily receive the award if concerns exist regarding quality, past performance, or ability to meet specifications. Only prequalified vendors are eligible to bid. Vendors are required to submit detailed quote letters with their proposals; failure to do so will result in automatic disqualification. A sample and proof in PDF format are required as part of the bid submission.
