Annual Recycling Calendar 2027

The City of Pittsburgh is soliciting quotes for the production of the Annual Recycling Calendar 2027. The calendar will be a double-sided self-mailer with multiple versions based on city regions, requiring typesetting, design, and layout. The vendor will need to provide electronic art and unformatted articles, and furnish a color proof before printing. The calendar must meet all postal regulations for automated bar coding and be delivered to the mailer by November 30th, 2026. The city expects to print approximately 126,000 copies, with 116,000 to be mailed and 10,000 spare copies to be delivered to Environmental Services. Key considerations include the use of uncoated cover stock with minimum 30% post-consumer recycled content, and the prohibition on the use of generative artificial intelligence or automated content-generation tools. • The calendar will be a double-sided self-mailer with multiple versions based on city regions. • The vendor will need to provide electronic art and unformatted articles, and furnish a color proof before printing. • The calendar must meet all postal regulations for automated bar coding. • The city expects to print approximately 126,000 copies. • The vendor must deliver the calendars to the mailer by November 30th, 2026.
