Student Yearbook

The Citadel (The Military College of South Carolina) solicited and awarded a best‑value contract for the production of its annual “Sphinx” student yearbook. The award went to Lowcountry Yearbook Solutions, LLC, which will handle all aspects of design, printing, delivery, consulting, and on‑site training for an estimated 2,130 copies each year. The contract includes a base‑year cost of $56,239.50 and a ceiling value of $500,000 over up to five years, with optional one‑year renewals. Key elements include: • 2,130 copies (288‑page, 9″ × 12″) per year with full‑color printing and up to three embossing applications at no extra charge. • Ongoing consulting services: on‑site visits every three weeks, a mid‑year review, and 14‑hour training within the first eight weeks of each academic year. • Flexible production location – foreign printing (e.g., Mexico) is permitted, and subcontractors need not be based in South Carolina.
