A6 panel cards and envelopes

The Ohio Department of Youth Services (DYS) is seeking a printing contractor to produce 400 total print items through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) numbered SRC0000029096. The procurement specifically requires 200 A6 panel cards and 200 A6 envelopes, all printed on 80lb card stock flat white material with specific branding requirements. The cards and envelopes must feature new DYS branding, including a "CF in circle" logo using Minion Pro font in size 14 and blue bold text, with the Deputy Director's name printed in Minion Pro size 11 blue bold font. The envelopes will include a return address with the DYS branding on the top left. The desired delivery date is April 11th, 2025 or sooner, with delivery to be made to the DYS Facilities, Programs & Operations division located at 30 West Spring Street in Columbus, Ohio. Bids can only be submitted online through the OhioBuys procurement portal, with the bidding period open from March 21st to March 26th, 2025. Pricing will be evaluated based on unit pricing, with the state multiplying estimated usage by unit price to determine the total lot price.

The ITB includes specific restrictions and requirements for potential contractors, including an Affirmation and Disclosure Form that must be completed, affirming compliance with Executive Orders regarding offshore services and data location. The bid explicitly prohibits subcontracting of the presswork, ensuring direct production responsibilities. Invoices must reference the specific job number SRC0000029096 and be sent to the DAS State Printing's invoice processing department. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the provided documents, contractors must adhere to the state's procurement guidelines. The printing materials must be shrink-wrapped and printed in color on one side. Although a specific budget range is not detailed, the procurement is for a relatively small volume of 400 total print items, suggesting a modest contract value. The procurement is specifically for Franklin County and will serve the Ohio Department of Youth Services' branding and communication needs.
