Description
The National Park Service is seeking suppliers to provide a broad catalog of multipurpose copy paper, colored xerographic paper, digital cover stock, and cardstock in a variety of sizes, weights, colors, and finishes. The solicitation is an addendum (No. 1) to RFB #10189 and requires bidders to submit a signed acknowledgment along with their bid by the March 3, 2026 deadline. The award analysis included in the addendum shows prior pricing and award decisions, indicating that the agency expects low‑price, rapid‑delivery, in‑stock inventory from qualified wholesalers.
• Supply includes dozens of line‑items such as 8½×11 white 20‑lb. paper (13,000 cartons), colored 8½×11 papers, 8½×14 formats, 11×17 cover stock, and specialty cardstock packs.
• Lead‑times are tight – typically 1‑4 days or 3‑5 business days, with many items marked “In Stock.”
• Pricing is competitive; the best‑bid unit prices range from about $11 per pack of cardstock to $73 per carton of 28‑lb. digital paper, suggesting a total contract value on the order of several hundred thousand dollars.
• Bidders must use the NPS Sourcing electronic platform for submission; no physical site visits or pre‑bid conferences are indicated.
• The agency’s preferred awardees in the prior analysis were WB Mason and Sharda Paper, but the addendum invites new bids and requires acknowledgment of the addendum terms.
