BEVERIDGE NAPKINS

The State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services, specifically the General Services Division's State Printing & Mail Services, is seeking a vendor to produce specialized napkins for the Ohio Department of Agriculture through Invitation to Bid (ITB) SRC0000029194. The procurement involves two distinct napkin types: 62,500 Ohio Proud napkins and 62,500 Ohio Wines napkins, each measuring 5" x 5" and constructed of white 2-ply material. These napkins require specific printing specifications, including a 2-color logo for Wine napkins and a 4-color logo for Ohio Proud napkins, with coin edge embossing. The bid solicitation mandates precise color specifications using HEX, RGB, and CMYK color codes, and requires vendors to submit proofs to Ohio Grape Industries for approval. The bidding timeline is concise, with the bid notice dated March 25, 2025, and the bid opening scheduled for March 28, 2025. Vendors must submit bids online and are restricted to pricing with three digits after the decimal point, with a requested delivery date of April 21, 2025, or earlier, to the Ohio Grape Industries facility in Reynoldsburg, OH.

While the procurement documents do not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, vendors must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form addressing the location of services and data. The napkins will be packaged in shrink-wrapped packages of 250, with cartons requiring precise labeling of total quantities. Invoicing requirements mandate referencing the job number SRC0000029194 and submitting invoices to DAS State Printing's invoice processing department. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement involves the production of 125,000 total napkins across two distinct design specifications. The attached logo files, including OGIC_OW_LOGO_HORIZONTAL_tag-TWO_COLOR_New_Font.jpg and OP.lgo.made.grown.cmyk (1).jpg, suggest branding requirements that successful vendors must accurately reproduce. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate printing capabilities, color matching precision, and the ability to meet strict delivery and packaging specifications.
