Vet Center Outreach Material

Solicitation 500-068 is an Invitation for Bid issued by the U.S. Government Publishing Office on behalf of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for the production and distribution of Vet Center outreach materials. The scope of work includes the printing of 1,445 posters, 41,100 pocket folders, 251,000 brochures in English and Spanish, 153,500 referral cards in English and Spanish, and retractable banners with display hardware. All paper printed materials must be produced onsite by the awarded contractor, though banner products may be subcontracted. The contract is awarded on an F.O.B. Destination basis, requiring delivery to 277 separate addresses by December 11, 2026. The government will evaluate the apparent low vendor based on technical, production, and financial capability, which may include on-site surveys and the submission of financial statements or letters of commitment. Quality standards are strictly defined, with printing and finishing attributes set to Level 3 and specific ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 inspection levels for destructive and non-destructive testing. A significant modification to the standard GPO terms is the extension of the warranty period from 120 days to five calendar years from the date of final payment. Bids must be submitted via email to [email hidden] by October 21, 2026, and must include a total bid price and an additional rate per 1,000 copies.
