Library Bindery Services

The buyer requires a vendor to provide library bindery services for books, periodicals, newspapers, theses, dissertations, and other materials for a government authority located in Lexington, KY. The requested scope includes removing backs by trimming or milling away the spine edge of textblocks to prepare them for oversewing or double fan adhesive binding, with optional spine notching after milling. This process applies to specific materials under two and a half inches thick that feature adequate margins and sturdy, flexible paper. The buyer sets a contract period of one year, and work performance will occur both onsite and offsite. Eligibility limits participation to onshore vendors located in the United States. The buyer seeks proposals for the budget and requires vendors to submit all questions no later than September 25, 2026.
