NMWC Pocket Folders

The state and local contract opportunity is issued by the South Central Council of Governments in Mesilla, New Mexico, specifically for Sandoval County, and involves the procurement of 2,500 custom pocket folders. The procurement requires producing 9" x 12" finished-size pocket folders with precise specifications, including white 14pt gloss cover, full-color printing on one side with full bleeds, UV coating, and two 4" glued pockets. Each folder must include two sets of business card slits (one set per pocket) and will be created using a camera-ready CMYK PDF provided by the client. The folders will be ground shipped to the Mesilla Community Center, with packaging requirements of 250 folders per box. The solicitation was posted on December 28, 2022, with a proposal due date of January 19, 2023, and vendors are instructed to submit any questions exclusively through BidNet Direct. Payment terms are specified as Net 30 from the invoice receipt date, reflecting standard government agency billing processes.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be open to print and marketing vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications outlined in the solicitation. While no specific budget range is detailed, the project involves producing 2,500 pocket folders with complex printing requirements, suggesting a moderate-value contract. Vendors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the precise technical specifications, including print quality, material standards, and shipping requirements. The contract is funded through government channels, specifically associated with the South Central Council of Governments and potentially connected to workforce development initiatives, as suggested by the supplementary documentation about EmployNM and workforce training programs.
