Printing of UMW Academic Catalogs; 2010-11 Graduate and Undergraduate

The state and local contract opportunity issued by the state of Virginia, specifically targeting Fairfax City, involves the printing of academic catalogs for the University of Mary Washington (UMW) for the 2010-11 academic year. The procurement focuses on producing both graduate and undergraduate catalogs, with the solicitation posted on July 8, 2010, and proposals due by July 13, 2010. While limited details are provided about specific deliverable requirements, the contract appears to seek a printing vendor capable of producing comprehensive academic catalogs that outline course offerings, academic programs, and institutional information for graduate and undergraduate students. The short timeline between posting and proposal due date suggests an expedited procurement process, requiring potential vendors to quickly prepare and submit responsive proposals. Key evaluation criteria and specific technical specifications are not explicitly outlined in the available information.

The contract opportunity does not specify any explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendor information or existing technological infrastructure requirements are detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be a standard printing services contract for an educational institution, likely requiring standard commercial printing capabilities and potential digital file management competencies. While no specific budget range is indicated, academic catalog printing typically represents a moderate-value contract for professional printing services. Vendors interested in responding would need to demonstrate printing quality, turnaround capabilities, and potential cost-effectiveness within the brief response window provided by the University of Mary Washington.
