Printing Services - Oregon Revised Statutes, Oregon Laws and Related Publications

The State of Oregon, specifically the Office of the Legislative Counsel for Marion County, is seeking a printing services contractor for the 2025-2026 procurement cycle through Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 2025-1. The primary objective is to print and distribute complex legislative publications, including 905 sets of 22-volume Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS), 930 volumes of 2026 Oregon Laws, 930 volumes of 2026 Annotations Supplement, and 220 sets of three-volume case-bound 2025-2026 Oregon Laws. The contractor must meet rigorous technical specifications regarding text and cover stock, binding, packaging, and distribution methodologies. Evaluation criteria will focus on technical proposal quality, vendor references, and competitive pricing, with selection based on specialized skill, knowledge, and resources. Key procurement dates include the RFP release on August 13, 2025, proposal submissions due by September 3, 2025, and a contract term spanning October 3, 2025, to December 31, 2026, with specific publication delivery deadlines including January 7, 2026, for ORS volumes.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contractor must provide a 10% cash deposit as a performance guarantee and maintain specific insurance coverages. Pricing proposals must comprehensively itemize costs for text stock, cover stock, prepress charges, printing, binding, packaging, shipping, and additional expenses. The anticipated contract value is estimated between $350,000 and $400,000, with payment structured in three installments linked to specific deliverables. The payment schedule and comprehensive cost breakdown suggest the procurement is structured to support a specialized printing vendor with substantial technical capabilities and production infrastructure. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the detailed technical requirements indicate a need for a printer with extensive experience in legislative and legal document production, potentially limiting the pool of qualified respondents to vendors with specialized printing capabilities.
