Description
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is issuing an RFI to gather market information on vendors capable of providing comprehensive duplicating, reproduction, bindery, wide‑format printing, scanning, and document distribution services for its on‑site printing facility supporting ~5,000 employees. The RFI is a planning tool; responses may be used in a future small‑business set‑aside solicitation for a potential 7‑year contract (5 base years with up to two 1‑year options) that will replace an existing subcontract expiring March 31 2027. Vendors must submit a rough‑order‑of‑magnitude price estimate and answer a series of capability questions, including management of volume demand, off‑hours support, staffing flexibility, GPO certification, security compliance, and business continuity. The solicitation is limited to small businesses under NAICS 323120 (≤550 employees).
• Services required: duplicating/reproduction, bindery, wide‑format (BW & color) printing, document scanning, distribution.
• Estimated annual volumes: 75 k BW impressions, 185 k color impressions, 1,350 sq ft BW wide‑format, 14,500 sq ft color wide‑format, 35 k scanned images.
• Mandatory qualifications: right‑of‑first‑refusal for current JPL duplicating staff, small‑business certification under NAICS 323120.
• Critical dates: RFI questions due Sept 30 2026; answers by Oct 9 2026; response due Oct 26 2026 (3 PM PT).
