Print graphics & portal

Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) is seeking competitive bids for a comprehensive print graphics and portal contract serving the Multnomah County jurisdiction in Oregon. The procurement is specifically requesting a primary vendor to provide various printed materials and an integrated print portal that enables staff to order customizable business items such as business cards, name badges, stationery, flyers, and other printed materials. The Request for Bids (RFB) requires bidders to demonstrate substantial experience and partnership potential, with an evaluation criteria weighted 75% toward experience and 15% toward pricing. The bid submission deadline is set for 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, with an anticipated 12-month contract period and potential options to renew for two additional one-year terms. Bidders must submit a comprehensive cover letter detailing qualifications, experience, and pricing on provided specification sheets, with all quoted prices including delivery to MHCC. The winning vendor will be required to establish an internal print portal with a staff approval process, ensuring that fillable items can be edited directly through the system.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The RFB does not provide a specific budget range or total contract value, though pricing will be a factor in vendor selection. No incumbent vendor information was disclosed in the available documentation. The primary technological requirement is the implementation of a print portal that allows for internal staff ordering and approvals, with alternative solutions like file-sharing platforms with approval processes acceptable if a full portal cannot be provided. Vendors will need to demonstrate capability in managing a diverse range of print materials, including business cards, letterhead, envelopes, flyers, posters, name badges, postcards, and programs. The contract appears designed to establish a flexible, comprehensive printing partnership with MHCC that can adapt to the institution's varied graphic and print communication needs.
