IFA - Printing and Delivery Services for Monthly Board Books

The Illinois Finance Authority (the Authority) is seeking quotes from vendors to provide monthly printing, binding, and delivery services for its board meeting materials, known as "Board Books." The scope of the Request for Quotes (RFQ) includes printing black and white pages, color pages, custom tabs, and comb binding of up to 500 sheets per month. Vendors must provide quotes for delivery services to various locations in the Chicago area, including priority overnight and 2-day delivery options. Quotes must be submitted via the Bidbuy platform by May 7, 2021 at 3:00 PM. The term of the agreement(s) will be for 12 months, with the option to extend for an additional 24 months, not to exceed 36 months total. The RFQ requires fixed-rate pricing for all applicable services, with no price increases allowed. Vendor selection will be based on the lowest quoted price from the vendor best meeting the Authority's requirements.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Vendors are encouraged to register with the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) prior to submitting a quote. The Authority reserves the right to reject all quotes, award by item or group, and waive minor defects. The RFQ does not provide any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The Authority has not disclosed a budget range for this procurement.
