T -- Army Reserve Capabilities Brochure

The contract involves the production of 32,500 pamphlets sized 9-1/2 by 10-3/4 inches, each consisting of 16 pages printed entirely on 80-lb Eggshell White Mohawk Superfine Ultra Cover or an equivalent cover stock. Printing will utilize seven colors, combining a four-color process with multiple hits of two specific PMS colors. After printing, a die-cut hole measuring 1-1/2 inches in diameter will be created consistently through pages 1 to 14, while pages 15 and 16 will remain intact. The pamphlets will be saddle stitched with scored folds for each signature. The contractor must use furnished disk files to produce proofs, including a press sheet for inspection. Post-production requirements include shrink-wrapping the pamphlets in bundles of 25, packing them into cartons for shipment to approximately 60 locations, and including a single-sided black-inked cover letter printed on 60-lb White Offset paper (8-1/2 by 11 inches) in each carton. All shipping costs are borne by the contractor. Since formal specifications are not yet available, interested bidders must request and obtain a complete bid package by faxing a letter on their letterhead to the provided number; this package is mandatory prior to submitting a quotation. The project is designated as a presolicitation under Jacket748-321 for the Army Reserve Capabilities Brochure.
