Printing Services Cardinal Cadence Magazine

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by Lamar University for printing and mailing services for their quarterly Cardinal Cadence Magazine. The University is seeking a single qualified, capable and experienced printing firm to provide high-quality printing, production of a digital edition, binding, mailing and delivery services for the 40-page plus cover magazine, published four times per year. The RFP outlines specific requirements for page count, binding, paper stock, ink colors, mailing compliance, and proofing. It also details the submission process, evaluation criteria, and contract term of 1 year with 3 optional 1-year renewals. The University will evaluate proposals based on the respondent's qualifications, ability to provide services, past performance, specific project approach, and pricing, with the intent to award the contract to the respondent providing the "best value".

The RFP requires respondents to submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan, indicating that this opportunity may have set-aside or participation requirements for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs). No incumbent vendors or budget ranges are provided, but the RFP notes the University's intent to award the contract to the respondent providing the "best value", suggesting a competitive procurement process without a predetermined award amount.
