Election Brochure Printing and Distribution Service

The City of Palmer, Alaska is seeking a qualified vendor to print and distribute its official election brochures. The agency needs to secure these services for the 2026, 2027, and 2028 election seasons, with options to renew the contract for the 2029 and 2030 election seasons. This project solves the agency's need for reliable, bulk-mailed voter information delivery ahead of annual elections. The scope of work requires printing approximately 45,000 total copies of a saddle-stitched and trimmed newsprint booklet, ranging from 30 to 50 pages with an estimated average of 40 pages. The booklets must use 50-pound book stock paper, with the cover printed on the same stock as the interior pages. The selected vendor must handle the bulk mailing process, pre-sorting the brochures and mailing them directly to households based on a computer database of registered voters. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency allows the selected vendor to perform all printing and preparation work offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The agency is requesting annual pricing proposals for the printing and distribution services to establish the project budget. Bidders must submit any questions regarding the solicitation no later than July 10, 2026.
