WI Division of Energy – Home Energy Plus 3 Piece Multi-Language Various Publications

The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) is soliciting bids for a comprehensive printing project for the WI Division of Energy's Home Energy Plus program, specifically requesting the production of three distinct multi-language publications. The procurement involves printing 23,740 application documents in black ink on 8-1/2" x 11" paper with a single staple in the upper left corner, 35,585 English, 8,740 Spanish, and 3,167 Hmong brochures using 4-color printing on both sides with specific folding requirements, and checklists in English (15,246), Spanish (3,946), and Hmong (1,167) with varying paper colors. Deliverables must be precisely manufactured according to detailed specifications, including paper weight, ink type, and finishing techniques. The contract requires delivery to 47 different shipping locations, with PDF proofs to be emailed to bobbi.davis@wisconsin.gov. The solicitation was posted on June 23, 2025, with proposals due by July 2, 2025. Vendors are instructed to provide a comprehensive price that includes all work and shipping costs, suggesting a holistic bid approach.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions are explicitly mentioned in the document, the multi-language nature of the publications suggests a potential focus on linguistic diversity and accessibility. The project appears to be a standard state procurement without obvious limitations on vendor participation. The quantity and complexity of the printing job indicate a potentially significant contract value, though exact budget ranges are not specified. The requirement for multi-language materials across three languages (English, Spanish, and Hmong) implies a commitment to serving diverse populations within Wisconsin's energy assistance programs. The precise specifications for paper type, ink, size, and finishing suggest that vendors will need specialized printing capabilities and attention to detail to successfully fulfill the contract requirements. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the detailed technical specifications suggest the state has a well-established process for these publications.
