Printing/Delivery of the Connecticut General Statutes and Supplements

The Office of Legislative Management on behalf of the Connecticut General Assembly (CGA) and the Legislative Commissioner's Office (LCO) is soliciting proposals for printing, binding, shipping, and delivery services for the official General Statutes of Connecticut and related supplements. The procurement encompasses four distinct publishing projects: the 2027 General Statutes (revised to January 1, 2027), the 2028 Supplement, the 2029 General Statutes (revised to January 1, 2029), and the 2030 Supplement. The 2027 and 2029 General Statutes each require printing of approximately 3,300 twenty-one-volume sets plus approximately 1,200 individual volumes, while the 2028 and 2030 Supplements each require approximately 3,000 three-volume sets. All materials must be produced and delivered within three calendar weeks for General Statutes and two calendar weeks for Supplements from receipt of final electronic pages. Vendors must demonstrate at least five years of experience performing similar work and submit detailed project plans, equipment lists, references, and proof of qualifications. Technical specifications include acid-free paper stock (34# to 50#) matching the 2025 General Statutes, perfect binding, gold foil stamping for General Statutes, and silver foil stamping for Supplements. Pricing must be submitted on a per-page basis for printing, binding, shipping, and delivery, with separate pricing for overrun volumes, and all costs must be quoted on an FOB Destination basis including labor, materials, stock, binding, foil stamping, carton labeling, packing, and surface transportation. The evaluation criteria include price and cost effectiveness among other factors, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day applying for late delivery. Proposals must be submitted via email only by April 30, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. EST, with a vendor question and answer period extending from March 30, 2026, at 4:15 p.m. EDT through April 10, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. EDT.

All vendors are eligible to respond to this solicitation with no identified set-asides restricting competition by business type or size; however, Connecticut certified Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) and Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) receive expedited payment terms of Net 25 Days compared to the standard Net 45 Days offered to other contractors, providing a competitive financial advantage. The solicitation document does not identify an incumbent contractor or current vendor, nor does it specify an estimated total contract value. The contract term extends from the execution date through June 30, 2031, with potential extension by mutual agreement for an additional period not to exceed the original term length. Proposals must include completed pricing pages, required forms (Proof of Authorization, Campaign Contribution Certification, CHRO Compliance, Vendor Profile, and W-9), and acknowledgment or specific exceptions to the CGA's standard terms and conditions. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation materials, and no bidders' conference is scheduled for this procurement.
