T -- Periodic Tables (Large and Small)

This contract involves the production of posters in two distinct sizes: a larger 30 x 40 inch version with a requirement of 25,000 copies, and a smaller 9 x 11 inch version requiring 1,500,000 copies. Both poster sizes are to be printed single-sided using a four-color process on white synthetic paper equivalent to Yupo 58-pound cover stock. The larger posters must include three holes reinforced with 1/2-inch brass grommets, while the smaller posters require five holes but no grommets. Packaging specifications dictate that the larger posters be bundled in sets of 10 and the smaller posters in sets of 50. An identification card, printed single-sided in black ink from camera copy provided by the client, must be inserted into each package. The delivery requirements differ between the two sizes: the larger posters are to be shipped to a single location, whereas the smaller posters must be distributed nationwide. Proofs are required, and the contractor will be furnished with a disk containing the necessary artwork. The solicitation is in the presolicitation phase, with full specifications pending; interested bidders must request a bid package on company letterhead via fax and must possess the complete bid package to submit a quotation.
