Request for Information - Printing Services

Marion County and the Oregon Legislative Counsel are seeking printing services for official legal publications during the 2023-2025 biennium through a Request for Information (RFI). The procurement specifically targets comprehensive printing services for critical documents including the Oregon Revised Statutes, Oregon Laws, and various specialty legal publications. The RFI requires vendors to provide detailed insights into potential consolidated printing contract opportunities, with specific attention to publication characteristics such as page counts, binding types, and delivery quantities. Key deliverables include printing 1,414 sets of the 22-volume 2021 Oregon Revised Statutes, 1,442 copies of the 2022 Oregon Laws, and 1,442 copies of the 2022 Annotations Supplement. The evaluation will focus on vendors' capabilities to meet precise print specifications, including text and cover stock requirements, binding standards, and margin specifications. The RFI was posted on July 7, 2023, with responses due by July 28, 2023, and seeks vendor input on potential bid consolidation strategies and market assessment for these legislative publications.

While the RFI does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements, it does emphasize vendor capabilities and market responsiveness. The document includes a series of exploratory questions designed to gauge vendor interest, potential subcontracting needs, and preferences for procurement structures. Though specific budget ranges are not directly stated, the scale of the printing project suggests a significant contract value encompassing multiple publication types. The RFI indicates flexibility in contract approach, potentially allowing for either a single consolidated solicitation or multiple targeted procurements. Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive responses about their printing capabilities, including technical specifications, production capacity, and willingness to meet the precise requirements of the Oregon Legislative Counsel's publication needs. The procurement appears open to qualified printing vendors who can demonstrate technical expertise, production reliability, and the ability to meet stringent publication standards.
