C+C Printing and Mailing

Multnomah County is seeking bids for a C+C Catalog Printing and Mailing contract through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) process. The procurement targets printing and mailing services for catalogs, with estimated annual quantities ranging from 70,000 to 100,000 catalogs. The contract will be for an initial one-year term with potential renewals for up to four additional one-year periods. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for December 15, 2021, and the bid submission deadline is January 3, 2022. The ITB provides comprehensive specifications for printing requirements, including detailed guidelines for paper stock, ink specifications, bindery processes, and mailing instructions. Bidders are required to submit pricing on a per-unit basis and have the option to propose alternate pricing models. The evaluation will likely focus on meeting the technical specifications, pricing competitiveness, and overall responsiveness to the ITB requirements.

The ITB documentation does not explicitly mention any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors are identified in the available materials. The procurement appears to be open to qualified printing and mailing service providers who can meet the technical specifications and volume requirements. Funding for the contract will be drawn from Multnomah County's annual budget allocation, though a specific budget range or maximum contract value is not disclosed in the provided documents. The contract's estimated annual volume of 70,000 to 100,000 catalogs suggests a potentially significant contract value, depending on per-unit pricing and specific catalog production costs. Interested vendors will need to carefully review the detailed specifications and submit comprehensive proposals that demonstrate their capability to meet the county's printing and mailing requirements.
