Printing and Mailing Support Services

The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) is conducting a Request for Qualifications (RFQA) for Printing and Mailing Support Services under Solicitation Number 17062. This procurement seeks vendors to provide comprehensive printing, packing, and mailing distribution services for three specific programs: CTrides (a commuter assistance program), CTrail Hartford Line, and CTrail Shore Line East. The solicitation requires vendors to handle general printing tasks and manage complete distribution logistics, with services to be delivered free on board at the destination. The procurement period is precisely defined, opening on August 8, 2023, at 7:00 AM EDT and closing on August 26, 2023, at 5:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors must submit their qualifications during this window, with all submissions to be reviewed by CTDOT. The primary point of contact for this opportunity is Mary Santos, located at the Transportation Department office in Rocky Hill, CT, who can be reached at 877-287-4337 or info@ctrides.com. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documents, vendors will likely be assessed on their capability to meet the printing and mailing service requirements efficiently and effectively.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation are mentioned in the solicitation documents. The opportunity appears open to all vendors without preference for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. AECOM, a worldwide consulting firm, is currently the incumbent administrator of the CTrides program and is managing the existing operations, outreach, marketing, and customer service support. Although the solicitation documents do not specify an estimated total contract value, they indicate this is an ongoing service requirement with potential for continued engagement. The payment terms are to be specified by the vendor, and no explicit budget range or funding source is disclosed. Two supplementary documents are referenced but not fully detailed in the provided materials: "FY'24 - CTrides Printing and Mailing Services RFQ.pdf" and "2023 - Printing and Mailing Services RFQ Questions and Answers.pdf", which might contain additional contextual information for potential bidders. The contract appears designed to ensure continuous support for CTDOT's commuter and transportation communication needs through reliable printing and mailing services.
