About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Government Publishing Office, on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS/USCIS), is soliciting bids for the production of expandable file jackets in two configurations: M-672EB1 with left tab position and M-672EB3 with right tab position. The jackets must be constructed from JCP Code P20 high-finish folder stock in natural color at 217 lbs. basis weight, with black ink printing only on covers 1, 2, and 4; digital printing is explicitly not acceptable. Key contract requirements include two-piece rust-resistant metal fasteners with 3-1/2" capacity, compliance with durability testing standards (minimum 4,000 cycles on MIT fold test and minimum 120 pounds per square inch burst rating), and delivery to the DHS/USCIS Western Forms Center in Montclair, California by May 18, 2026. Pre-production samples of 10 units per item must be submitted within three workdays of receipt for government approval before final production can commence. Bids must be submitted electronically to bids@gpo.gov by 11 a.m. Eastern Time on April 3, 2026, with virtual bid opening occurring at the same time.

This is a non-set-aside contract with no identified incumbent contractors. The solicitation requires production of 100,000 total expandable file jackets—50,000 each of the two items—with specific finished dimensions of 9-1/4" x 12-3/4" for the front leaf and 11-1/4" x 12-3/4" for the back leaf, providing 6 inches of total expansion capacity. Packing specifications require 75 jackets per carton, 36 cartons per pallet (2,700 jackets per pallet), with all shipments to be made via traceable means. Bidders must provide pricing for the total quantity and an additional rate per 1,000 copies of each item for potential future orders. The purchase order will be furnished no later than April 8, 2026, establishing an aggressive timeline for a delivery deadline of May 18, 2026. The jackets are designed for a 100-year lifecycle with approximately 15 years of active use and 85 years of storage.
