Full Description

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD July 6, 2023 SUBJECT: Contract 33330219CT0010023 Extension print and mail monthly catalog Through a request for quote issued in 2018, the Smithsonian Institution on behalf of the Smithsonian Associates - SA contracted with LSC Communications MCL LLC to print, ship, and mail SA's monthly program guide. The contract was issued on 2.21.2019 and was for a base and 4 option years. The contract is near the end of option year 4. Most printing contracts of this type are structured for a ten-year time frame. LSC has met and exceeded the terms of the Contract. The Smithsonian Institution hereby provides notice of its intention to extend the contract for another 3 option years. Smithsonian Associates (SA) is an entirely self-supporting unit within the Smithsonian Institution. They operate without Federal or Trust Fund allocations and their main source of generated revenue is from ticket sales of educational programs offered to members and the general public as publicized in the Associate program guide, the monthly 4-color publication. The guide is mailed each month to 25,000+ households. Each program guide features a selection of new programs for the month, which means that it must be received on time in order for members to purchase tickets for their upcoming programs. SA relies on their printer to meet those mail dates without fail each month, and the printer has proven to be reliable. Income from the sales is a critical component of SA's revenue so timely delivery of the Associate program guide is essential. The estimated price of the contract extension for the 3 additional years is $850,000. It is the Smithsonian's position that putting an RFP out for bid after only 5 years would not result in increased competition or better pricing. There would be significant financial impact on the Smithsonian Associates if there were to be a change or break in the monthly publication.
