About this opportunity
The South Dakota Retirement System (SDRS) is seeking an annual contract for printing and mailing the SDRS Outlook Newsletter, with services to be rendered from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. The procurement opportunity involves printing newsletters up to six times per year, with a base quantity of 20,000 copies per issue. Vendors must provide comprehensive printing services, including full-color printing on 70# white offset text stock with full bleed, offering options for 6-page, 4-page, or 2-page newsletter formats. The contract requires complete mailing services, encompassing folding, addressing, bar-coding, and mailing according to United States Postal Service guidelines, with postage to be reimbursed separately. Bidders must submit pricing for the 20,000 base copies and additional 1,000-copy increments for each newsletter size option. A critical requirement is the use of environmentally preferable paper products, which must meet specific certifications such as Green Seal or Ecologo, or comply with EPA Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines. The proposal is due by November 16, 2023, and the contract will be effective for the 2024 calendar year.
The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the specified printing and mailing requirements, with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the available documentation. The South Dakota Office of Procurement Management's Vendor Manual suggests standard non-discrimination policies apply to the bidding process. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documents, vendors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, environmental requirements, and pricing competitiveness. The state reserves the right to consider lower-cost alternatives if no product meets the stated environmental criteria or if an environmentally preferable paper product exceeds alternate product pricing by more than five percent. Potential bidders should carefully review the printing specifications and ensure they can provide high-quality, environmentally conscious newsletter printing and mailing services that meet the SDRS's operational needs for the 2024 contract period.
