Description
The State of California’s Department of General Services is soliciting bids for the supply of specialty mailing envelopes to the Office of State Publishing. Bidders must provide envelopes that meet detailed technical specifications—including size, paper weight, adhesive type, window design, and printing requirements—while complying with performance, workmanship, and packaging standards. The award will be made to the lowest‑total‑cost responsive bidder, with potential socioeconomic preferences that can reduce the net bid amount. The contract is a one‑time acquisition with a 30‑day delivery requirement after order receipt, and all bids must be submitted electronically by the stated deadline.
• Provide various envelope styles (plain and window) meeting exact MCC‑coded dimensions, paper stock (24 lb/28 lb), adhesives (gum or latex), and optional black print specifications.
• Pass performance testing on high‑speed mail inserters (jamming ≤ 1 per 8,000‑5,000 envelopes).
• Package according to class‑specific palletizing rules (e.g., 500 envelopes per shelf box, specific carton configurations).
• Comply with multiple certifications (Darfur, Civil Rights, Iran Act, GenAI disclosure, EPP) and submit required forms within the bid package.
