Various Paper Surplus Sale

The U.S. Government Publishing Office is conducting a surplus sale of various types of paper and paper products listed in Attachment A, with bids required for the entire lot of each paper type and minimum bid prices applying per item. The solicitation, numbered 040ADV-26-Q-0042, was posted on July 28, 2026, with bids due by August 21, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, and must be submitted via email to surplusalesbids@gpo.gov along with the completed SF 114 form, a bid submission form, a 50% deposit in the form of a certified check or money order, and a picture of the bidder’s driver’s license. The sale includes over ten distinct paper items, ranging from white silk and gloss cover stocks to heatset weboffset rolls, with a total estimated value of $125,593.13 based on the listed quantities and unit prices. Bidders must inspect the property at the GPO facility in Washington, DC, prior to submitting a bid, as all items are sold “as is, where is” with no warranties regarding quantity, quality, or fitness for use. The Government will award the contract to the highest bidder on a price-only basis, with no technical or qualitative evaluation factors considered. Successful bidders must make full payment by September 4, 2026, and remove all property within fifteen days thereafter, assuming complete responsibility for packing, loading, and transportation at their own cost and risk; the Government provides no handling, loading, or shipping services. Title transfers upon removal, and failure to comply with removal deadlines may result in forfeiture. Bidders must be at least 18 years old, not debarred, and must certify independently determined prices without collusion or contingent fees. Disclosure of any agent involvement or fee arrangements is required if applicable. No small business set-aside applies, though bidders may self-certify as small businesses; no other socioeconomic certifications are accepted. The sale operates under federal surplus property statutes and is governed by clauses addressing disputes, anti-collusion, indemnification, and government withdrawal rights, with all modifications requiring written approval from the Contracting Officer. All communications and submissions must adhere to specified formats and deadlines, and inquiries must be submitted by August 12, 2026.
