T -- Local Direct Mail enlisted Mailers/Letters/Envelopes

The contract involves the production of a substantial quantity of direct mail materials including one type of envelope, two types of letters, and six types of self-mailers. Specifically, it requires 650,000 envelopes measuring 4-1/8 x 9-1/2 inches with windows, printed in full 4-color process plus a clear varnish on one side, using 80-lb white gloss coated text stock. The two letters must be printed roll-to-roll on 7-point white matte coated cover stock, with front printing in full 4-color process and black-only printing on the back. Quantities for the letters are 120,000 and 250,000 copies respectively, with computer punching on both the left and right edges. The six self-mailers, similar in material to the letters, require 4-color printing on both front and back, with quantities ranging from 5,000 to 450,000 copies depending on the individual mailer. Proofs will be required before production, and disks will be provided to the printer for the printing process. Delivery is the responsibility of the bidder and must be made to Warminster, Pennsylvania. As specifications have not yet been finalized, interested bidders must request a bid package by faxing a firm letterhead request to the specified number. Only those who have obtained the complete bid package may submit quotations, and each firm is limited to one bid per request. This solicitation appears to be a presolicitation notice from late 2003, providing comprehensive requirements but awaiting final contract details.
