FY’26 SY27 2HSJ – flag control package

The Government Publishing Office, on behalf of the Marine Corps Recruiting Command, is soliciting bids for printing and direct mail production services for the FY'26 SY27 2HSJ Flag Control Package. The procurement requires production of 560,000 complete direct mail package sets (2,240,000 total pieces) consisting of pictorial window envelopes, folded inserts, and two versions of reply cards printed with 4-color process, three Pantone colors, and aqueous gloss varnish. Bidders must demonstrate capability to perform the predominant production function—six-color printing and aqueous coating in a single press pass—as subcontracting this operation will result in non-responsibility.

Bid pricing must encompass all materials, operations, sample delivery, press inspections, digital asset deliverables, shipping on an F.O.B. Destination basis, and 200 sample sets for quality assurance, with a required 60-calendar-day bid acceptance period.

No set-aside designations apply to this solicitation. The contract does not identify current contractors or potential incumbents. Purchase orders and furnished materials will be distributed no later than March 25, 2026, with proofs required by March 30, 2026, and final delivery to three locations completed by April 27, 2026, at 2:00 PM local time.
