Harbison theatre season brochures 2019

Midlands Technical College's Purchasing Office is soliciting a Request for Quote (RFQ) for Harbison Theatre Season Brochures for the 2019-2020 season, located in Richland County, South Carolina. The procurement involves producing 70,000 brochures via offset printing, with specific requirements including tabbing 65,000 units with three clear tabs, performing inkjet mailing preparation, and conducting National Change of Address (NCOA) processing. Of the total order, 65,000 brochures must be shipped to the post office with full mail preparation services, while 5,000 will be delivered locally to the college's Materials, Inventory and Logistics facility in West Columbia. The solicitation opened on May 28, 2019, with a deadline for questions set for June 4, 2019, at 11:00 a.m., and a bid submission deadline of June 10, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. Award was scheduled to be posted on June 12, 2019, with all deliveries required to be completed within thirty days of the purchase order receipt. Bidders must submit unit and extended prices for each line item, incorporating all printing, mail preparation, and shipping costs, with no subcontracting permitted.

The procurement allows for South Carolina and United States end-product preferences, with bidders required to be registered as South Carolina vendors. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation. Bidders must submit a signed Cover Page and Page Two with their bid and comply with standard South Carolina procurement clauses, including certification of independent price determination, debarment status, drug-free workplace compliance, and ethics requirements. A nonresident taxpayer registration affidavit may be required depending on the contractor's residency status. The award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with offerors required to hold their offer open for a minimum of thirty calendar days after the opening date. While a specific budget range was not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the printing and mailing services suggests a moderate-value contract for a local government educational institution.
