Graphic Design Services

Albany State University, a state entity of Georgia located in Douglas County, issued an electronic Request for Information (eRFI) on June 24, 2022, seeking information from qualified suppliers regarding Graphic Design and Printing Services. This is an information-gathering initiative rather than a competitive solicitation, designed to help the State Entity evaluate available resources and methods to fulfill its graphic design and printing service needs. Interested suppliers were required to submit responses by June 30, 2022, by emailing company name and contact information to asuinfo@asurams.edu. The eRFI process does not constitute competitive bidding and is explicitly stated as a non-binding information collection tool that may or may not lead to future competitive solicitations. While response to the eRFI was not mandatory, suppliers were strongly encouraged to participate as a means of establishing awareness of potential project opportunities at Albany State University. The eRFI did not outline specific deliverables, evaluation criteria, or qualification requirements, as the primary objective was to gather preliminary information about available suppliers and their capabilities in graphic design and printing services.

The eRFI documentation did not specify any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, small businesses, or other restricted categories of organizations, nor were any incumbent vendors or current contractors identified. No information regarding infrastructure, technology integration requirements, or existing systems was provided in the eRFI notice. Similarly, no award values, budget ranges, or contract amounts were disclosed in the opportunity announcement. The lack of these details reflects the preliminary nature of the information-gathering process, with more specific requirements and procurement parameters expected to be established in any subsequent competitive solicitation that may result from responses received during this eRFI phase.
