Child Support Sticker Calendar Service

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services in Columbus, Ohio, requires a vendor to print, assemble, package, and deliver the 2027 Child Support Calendar. The agency is seeking to produce a high-quality, 40-page calendar that includes coloring contest pages and integrated sticker sheets to support its public outreach. The project solves the agency's need for end-to-end production management, from pre-press preparation to final distribution to various county agencies. The scope of work covers pre-press preparation, high-quality CMYK printing, saddle-stitch binding, and the integration of two 11-by-17-inch kiss-cut sticker sheets stitched into the center. The agency requires a 100-pound cover stock for the front cover, uncoated 80-pound text stock for the inside pages, and specialized stock for the coloring contest pages. The final calendars must feature a one-eighth-inch drilled hanging hole, bleed trimming to an 8.5-by-11-inch final size, and packaging in cartons weighing no more than 25 pounds. Bidders must perform all work onshore within the United States, and the performance of the contract will take place offsite. The agency requires the selected vendor to submit a print production readiness assessment and coordinate electronic proof approvals before manufacturing begins. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of the project.
