DIPLOMA COVERS

Stephen F. Austin State University issued an informal solicitation for custom‑printed diploma folders. The required product is a purple (PMS 267) textured‑leather cover with a tent fold, sized to hold an 11 × 14 in diploma, featuring the university seal and word‑mark in silver foil. The university requested pricing for two quantity levels—3,000 and 5,000 units—and also asked for pricing on a version that adds a custom full‑color or one‑color image to the interior lining. Four vendors submitted bids, and the contract was awarded to Jostens. Unit prices ranged from $6.75 to $16.25, with a total contract value (including freight) reported around $55 k. The award was signed on June 17 2026, and the terms are “F.O.B.” with no further delivery specifics disclosed. • Product: Custom purple diploma folders with silver‑foil imprint, 11 × 14 in diploma capacity. • Quantity: Pricing required for 3,000 and 5,000 units (plus optional interior artwork version). • Award: Jostens selected as sole awardee; total contract value roughly $55,000. • Procurement: Informal solicitation, full and open competition, no set‑aside noted.
