Collegewide Printing Services

Delaware Technical and Community College is soliciting proposals under Contract No. DTCC2713-PRINT for Collegewide Printing Services, with written questions due November 19, 2026 at 4:00 PM and proposals due December 15, 2026 at 1:00 PM local time. The College intends to award contracts to multiple vendors. The source names no set-aside, preference program, or incumbent.

The College seeks printing and publishing vendors for as-needed printing, finishing, mailing, packaging, and delivery of course catalogs, commencement programs, campus visit day postcards, Delaware Tech Magazine (two issues annually), diamond cards, rack cards, end-of-year appeals, collegewide folders, brochures, booklets, newsletters, reports, forms, flyers, and instructional materials. The Appendix B pricing schedule requires unit pricing, minimum order quantities, and delivery timeframes in days after receipt of order. Vendors must identify all fees and surcharges, including fuel, delivery, setup, and artwork charges. The form warns that unidentified charges may be deemed included in the quoted price. Vendors that cannot produce a listed product enter "N/A." The pricing serves both contract evaluation and as the basis for future orders.

Mandatory requirements include Delaware business licensure, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, and $1,000,000 commercial general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Vendors must provide three business references, submit monthly usage reports and quarterly subcontracting diversity reports, and follow environmental procurement policies favoring ENERGY STAR and green-certified products. No bid bond or performance bond is required.

The initial term runs three years, from February 1, 2027 through January 31, 2030. It includes three one-year renewals by negotiation and a month-to-month extension of up to three months after the full term. Prices must remain fixed and binding through September 30, 2027.

Evaluation weights are Cost/Pricing (25 points), Experience and Qualifications (20), Technical Capabilities and Equipment (20), Quality of Printing and Finished Products (20), Production Capacity and Turnaround Time (10), and Customer Service, Delivery, and Account Management (5). Answers to questions will be posted by December 1, 2026. No mandatory pre-bid meeting has been established. Award is expected within 90 days of bid opening. Proposals require four paper copies, one marked "Master Copy" with original signatures, plus one USB copy, delivered to Courtney Stewart, Office of the President, 100 Campus Drive, Building 1000, Dover, Delaware 19904.
