Diploma Printing

Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) in Multnomah County, Oregon, is seeking competitive bids for a comprehensive diploma printing, mailing, and potential electronic diploma service contract. The procurement targets a vendor with demonstrable experience in higher education processing who can ensure efficient and accurate diploma production. Specific requirements include processing an average of 2,090 diplomas annually, with production occurring at the end of each academic term. The contract will have an initial 36-month term with potential for two consecutive 1-year extensions. Evaluation criteria will encompass price, vendor experience, references, and product demonstrations, with the award going to the bidder providing the best overall value and solution. Bids are due by 4:00 PM on February 11, 2022, and must include separate pricing for diploma processing, printing, mailing, and an optional electronic diploma service. Diploma specifications include an 8" x 6" size, current MHCC logo in red and black, and potential foil school seal integration.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. The college will accept Visa purchasing cards and expects the selected contractor to maintain consistent pricing throughout the contract period, with any potential price adjustments requiring mutual written agreement. While no incumbent vendor was identified, the documents suggest MHCC is seeking a vendor capable of seamlessly integrating with their existing enrollment services infrastructure. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or total contract value, instead focusing on per-diploma processing costs and the requirement for comprehensive, flexible diploma production services. MHCC appears open to vendors who can demonstrate technical capability, cost-effectiveness, and a track record of reliable diploma processing in higher education environments.
