2025 OHIO WINE POSTER

The State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services, through its General Services Division and State Printing & Mail Services, is seeking bids for the production of 1,500 Ohio Wine Posters for the Ohio Department of Agriculture. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Bid (ITB) with specific requirements for a 24" x 36" poster printed in 4-color process with full bleeds on one side, using 80# FSC white gloss cover stock. Key deliverables include producing a color laser proof, providing carton-packed posters with labeled quantities, and potentially participating in a press check. The bid (SRC0000028911) was released on March 17, 2025, with online submissions due by March 20, 2025. Artwork will be available from designers by April 1, 2025, with a required delivery date of April 28, 2025, to Christy Eckstein at Ohio Grape Industries in Reynoldsburg, OH. Bidders must submit unit prices with no more than three digits after the decimal point, and failure to bid on all items will result in disqualification. Evaluation criteria appear to focus on meeting precise specifications and compliance with submission requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. However, all bidders are required to complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form addressing offshore services and data location restrictions before contract award, which may indirectly impact vendor eligibility. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears to be a specialized printing contract with specific technical requirements. Invoicing procedures mandate that all invoices be sent to DAS State Printing and reference the job number SRC0000028911. The contract involves producing posters for the Ohio Grape Industries, suggesting a focused marketing or promotional purpose. Although the exact budget range is not specified, the procurement involves producing 1,500 posters, which implies a moderate-scale contract. The precise award value would depend on the unit pricing submitted by responsive bidders meeting all specified requirements.
