Gold Foil for Office Services

The City of Long Beach is soliciting bids for high-quality gold leaf foil on paper for office services across multiple City departments, with proposals due May 19, 2026 under ITB TI-26-695. A local-vendor preference of 10% applies to Long Beach–based businesses meeting specified criteria, reducing bid price for evaluation purposes only (actual payment is at the quoted price if awarded).

The scope includes certificate sheets (8.5 by 11 letter-size and 8.5 by 14 legal-size), blank gold foil business card templates, and custom Mayoral and City Council message cards on 80-pound linen text stock (business cards on 100-pound linen cover stock). All products must feature the City of Long Beach logo and gold foil accents. Typical ink colors are navy blue and black. Vendors must comply with California's recycled content paper requirement of at least 30 percent postconsumer fiber for printing and writing paper.

The contract term is two years with three optional one-year renewals for a total maximum of five years. All shipping, handling, and delivery charges to Long Beach locations are included in quoted prices; no separate charges are permitted for restocking, service fees, environmental fees, or fuel surcharges. Vendors must maintain a 98 percent order fulfillment rate, deliver standard orders within three business days, maintain 95 percent inventory availability for core products, and comply with SB1383 organic waste and food recovery requirements. Contract payment is net 30 days upon invoice following City acceptance. All vendors must hold a valid City of Long Beach business license.
