2027 Recycling Calendars Printing & Mailing

The City of Greensboro is soliciting bids under event 12492 for the printing and mailing of approximately 80,000 to 82,000 two-sided color folded postcards for the 2027 Recycling Calendars. The project requires the production of 40,000 red and 40,000 blue calendars on 80# matte cover stock, which must be sealed with fugitive glue or wafer seals to comply with USPS automation mailing regulations. The selected contractor is responsible for processing the mailing lists to achieve the best USPS Marketing Mail rates, including NCOA and Class certification, and must ensure all postcards are mailed from a Greensboro USPS location by December 4, 2026. Any overruns of unaddressed postcards must be delivered to the Solid Waste and Recycling Department at 401 Patton Avenue. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Interested companies must submit their responses via the Greensboro eProcurement System by September 24, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. Required submission materials include a statement of qualifications, a sample of similar work, at least three references, a copy of the company's NCOA license, and a bid form covering printing, processing, mailing, and postage costs. Bidders must also provide a statement confirming the bid remains valid for three months and acknowledge all RFB addenda. The City also applies a Local Preference Policy for businesses within the Guilford County Economic Development Alliance area and maintains a strict non-discrimination policy for all contracted entities.
