ADMIN-PRINT-2024

Stephen F. Austin State University issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB # ADMIN‑PRINT‑2024) for the design, printing, mailing, and delivery of two major publications: the university Viewbook (approximately 45 000 copies) and the Road Piece (54 000 copies). The scope includes full‑color offset/laser printing of 38‑page and 12‑page booklets, saddle‑stitch binding, cover foil stamping for the Road Piece, hard‑copy color proofs, and bulk mailing services for the Viewbook. The work must be completed on a tight schedule, with design files due July 2 2024, first mailing ready by August 1 2024, and final delivery of the Road Piece also by August 1 2024. The solicitation is open‑competition, with a ceiling of $203,095.73, and includes a HUB‑zone goal of 26 % but no specific set‑aside designation. The contract may be extended for up to two additional one‑year periods. Capital Printing was ultimately awarded the contract. • Print 44,500 Viewbook copies plus 500 local copies; 54,000 Road Piece copies. • Provide mailing service for the Viewbook and delivery of the Road Piece to university central stores. • Tight production timeline: design files July 2, first mailing August 1, final shipment shortly thereafter. • Awarded to Capital Printing; competition involved multiple Texas‑based printers. • Potential multi‑year extension (up to three years total).
