Folder-FY27

The City of Philadelphia is soliciting bids for flat printing services, specifically double-pocket folders with slit right pockets in 9-inch by 12-inch outside dimensions, with a bid due date of September 8, 2026. The procurement will be awarded as a whole or by line item, whichever serves the City's best interest, to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The scope is flat printing production in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Office of Commonwealth Libraries, supporting the MyLAMP.org program (Library Services for the Visually Impaired and Disabled). Bidders must quote all line items to be eligible for award consideration.

Bidders must address validation warnings and complete a summary review before final submission. Vendors are explicitly instructed not to deliver products or provide services until receiving formal notification from the department.
