Printing of the 2022‑23 Admissions Publication Package – Missouri Western State University

Missouri Western State University issued a formal sealed‑bid solicitation (FB23‑001) for the design‑to‑print, finishing, storage, and bulk‑mailing of its 2022‑23 admissions marketing collateral. The scope covers 34 distinct printed items ranging from pocket folders and stair‑step cards to high‑volume self‑mailers and viewbooks, with many pieces stored by the vendor for scheduled mailing. The award was made to Boelte‑Hall, which submitted the lowest combined printing and mailing price. The contract runs through June 30 2023 with two one‑year option extensions. Key points include: • Full‑service commercial printing (offset/digital) with specific color, stock, and finishing requirements (CMYK, spot‑color simulation, die‑cut, embossing, etc.). • Vendor‑managed data handling (secure FTP of student data), weekly mail‑run reporting, and use of USPS bulk‑mailing rates. • Fixed‑price pricing, 60‑day bid validity, and penalties for late delivery (1 % per day).
