BWC Folders

The State of Ohio, specifically the Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) in Franklin County, is seeking a printing services contract for the production of custom pocket folders through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) numbered SRC0000030488. The procurement involves die-cutting, folding, and gluing 500 folders with precise specifications: a 9 x 12 finished size, printed on FSC 100# Silk Cover white paper, with two glued pockets and business card slots on the left inside pocket. The required delivery is by 5/29/25 or sooner, to be delivered to Ryan Tompkins at 30 W. Spring St. in Columbus, OH 43215. The print specifications mandate a two-color configuration with zero-color ink, and contractors must submit a PDF to UniPrint and provide a proof for review. Bidders must complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form affirming compliance with Executive Orders regarding offshore services and data location. The bid requires precise unit pricing with no more than three digits after the decimal point, and failure to bid on all items will result in disqualification.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears to be open to standard commercial printing vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications. The estimated project value is $1,200.00 for the 500-folder production, as quoted by OSU UniPrint, the proposed vendor. The contractor must be capable of integrating with existing state printing infrastructure and technology, specifically the systems at DAS State Printing. Invoicing requirements stipulate that all invoices must reference the job number SRC0000030488 and be sent to DAS State Printing's Invoice Processing department. The contract opportunity is tied to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation's branding and communication materials, requiring precise adherence to the organization's design guidelines and visual identity standards as demonstrated in the attached design templates.
