Ocean County, New Jersey, is seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive printing, labeling, binding, and mailing services for a two‑year term. The vendor must maintain a full‑service printing and mailing facility within Ocean County and be capable of handling a variety of county‑wide needs, including election‑related materials, tax assessment notices, and departmental communications.
