The MPA 204 OE Printing Services solicitation issued by the State of Rhode Island (Solicitation OEV26005877) establishes an open enrollment Master Price Agreement (MPA) vendor list for providing Offset and Digital printing services to state agencies, quasi-public agencies, municipalities, and school districts throughout Rhode Island. The contract period commences on August 29, 2025, and extends through August 31, 2026, with the option to renew for two additional 12-month periods contingent upon vendor performance and available funding. Vendors may apply to provide either or both printing service types and must meet all pass/fail evaluation criteria to be included on the qualified vendor list. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Ocean State Procures™ system by September 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM EST, adhering to detailed formatting, submission, and labeling requirements, including submission of required documentation such as the Vendor Certification Questionnaire and the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Participation Acknowledgment Form. This solicitation operates on a pass/fail evaluation basis with no assigned weights or scoring; vendors must pass all compliance and qualification criteria to be eligible for award. Pricing is not pre-defined within the base solicitation but will be project-specific, determined through mini-bids issued by agencies to vendors on the qualified list, with all submitted pricing considered firm and fixed unless stated otherwise. The contract incorporates the State of Rhode Island’s General Conditions of Purchase, which govern inspection, acceptance, insurance, and other contractual obligations. Vendors are required to maintain specified insurance coverages, disclose any conflicts of interest or legal issues, and comply with reporting obligations such as political contributions. Deliverables include timely, quality printing services, accommodating a range of sizes, materials, and finishes as requested by individual agencies. The contract enables statewide service delivery with FOB destination terms, requiring vendors to submit invoices electronically through the OSP system where a 1% administrative fee is withheld by the State. Communication related to the solicitation and contract administration is managed exclusively through the Ocean State Procures™ portal, with Bridgette DuBois serving as the primary point of contact.
