About this opportunity
The U.S. Census Bureau is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the procurement of specialized pressure seal paper through a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) and Request for Information (RFI). The agency seeks suppliers capable of providing 8,400,000 sheets of 8" x 11" V-fold pressure seal paper with specific technical requirements including 28 lbs weight, white duplex finish, MICR capability, and adhesive pattern. Interested vendors must respond by April 20, 2026, at noon EST with submissions limited to 2-3 pages in 12-point Times New Roman font sent to maria.l.harriell@census.gov and rhonda.m.talbert@census.gov. Responses must address production capacity, annual production volumes, current utilization rates, inventory management, typical lead times, on-time delivery performance over the past 12 months, and descriptions of two similar high-volume paper delivery projects completed within the past three years. Questions regarding the announcement must be submitted by April 17, 2026, at noon EST, with answers posted to sam.gov. This is classified as market research only; no solicitation, contract award guarantee, or funding is currently available.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business vendors classified under NAICS code 322220 (Paper Mills). The Census Bureau requires delivery in three segmented shipments of 2.8 million sheets each on May 1, July 1, and September 1, 2026, representing a substantial high-volume supply requirement. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in the market research documents, as this phase is designed to assess industry capability and identify qualified sources prior to formal solicitation. The government may conduct industry discussions with potential offerors to clarify capabilities and assess any development or certification risks. Vendors should note that this is preliminary market research and does not constitute an invitation to bid or guarantee of contract opportunity.
