Print and mail/deliver '25 CCU Fall Magazine- JW

The contract involves Coastal Carolina University issuing a solicitation for the printing, mailing, and delivery of the '25 CCU Fall Magazine, with an estimated scope of approximately 18,000 copies. The vendor must be located within 300 miles of the university to facilitate timely press checks and avoid overnight shipping costs. The procurement process is scheduled between October 23 and October 31, 2025, with the award based primarily on responsiveness, compliance with submission requirements, and potentially lowest price, although explicit evaluation criteria are not detailed. Vendors are required to submit a signed cover page, a completed cost schedule, and relevant attachments such as a minority participation questionnaire and tax notices if applicable, all via an online portal before the deadline. The contract emphasizes strict adherence to the solicitation’s terms, prohibiting modifications or deviations, and mandates that proposals do not alter contractual requirements to remain responsive. The contractual framework references specific state and institutional regulations, including preferences for resident vendors, South Carolina end products, and U.S.-made products, which vendors may claim during submission. While the documents specify the scope of work—printing and mailing the magazine, with delivery to designated recipients—they do not detail specific packaging, marking, or inspection procedures. The primary point of contact is Jessica Williams, who can be reached via email or phone. Overall, the contract is governed by university and South Carolina procurement policies, with no federal FAR clauses incorporated, and emphasizes compliance, geographic proximity, and proper documentation as key to the award process.
