Envelopes

The State of Delaware Department of Correction is seeking a vendor to supply a full range of plain and specialty paper envelopes—including window, inside‑tint, and print‑master types—for use by the department and other state agencies. The contract is a three‑year firm‑price agreement (May 1 2026 – April 30 2029) with up to three one‑year extensions, and the award will go to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Vendors must provide free samples of each envelope type, meet detailed brightness, opacity, recycled‑content, and machine‑compatibility specifications, and be able to ship orders within 2‑5 business days of receipt. No bid‑bond or performance‑bond is required, but the vendor must carry specified insurance, hold a Delaware business license, and submit monthly usage and quarterly subcontractor diversity reports. • Supply plain and specialty envelopes meeting strict technical specs (brightness 83‑85, recycled content 30 %+, dimensions ± 1/16 in). • Pricing must be firm for the entire three‑year term and quoted per 1,000 units across seven quantity brackets. • Deliveries are FOB destination, freight‑prepaid, with a 1‑week delivery window and mandatory free samples before bid opening.
