Description
The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) requests quotes for the production of 20,000 landscape‑style award certificate holders (award folders). The folders are printed on 100‑lb uncoated laid‑finish cover stock, feature a centered agency logo in Pantone 294 with a blue border on the front cover, include two lines of black text on the back cover, and require an arc‑shaped die‑cut on the third cover to accommodate specific paper sizes. Production must be offset printing (digital printing prohibited), and the vendor must provide press‑quality PDF proofs, one‑off color proofs on production stock, and final optimized PDF files. Finished folders are to be packed, labeled with GPO Form 905, and shipped via FedEx to a U.S. Navy address in Bremerton, WA by 01 Oct 2026. The vendor is responsible for proof return logistics and must adhere to QATAP Level 3 quality standards and specified inspection levels.
