GPO RFI-Offset and Inkjet-Treated Paper

The Government Publishing Office (GPO) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI‑26‑0028) to conduct market research on the availability, production capacity, supply‑chain considerations, and Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing for offset and ink‑jet‑treated paper rolls (13‑, 15‑, and 18.5‑inch widths, 40 lb, 3‑inch core, 50‑inch diameter, no splices) that must meet JCP A55 standards. Respondents are asked to describe their capability to supply the required quantities, identify lead times, minimum order sizes, and whether manufacturing is domestic or international; provide ROM pricing on a per‑pound basis and total price for each draft CLIN (totaling 2,082,000 lb across six CLINs); and indicate ability to support the full requirement or partial quantities, as well as to support a phased transition from offset to ink‑jet‑treated paper within six months of the first year. Additional requirements include delivery within one month to GPO locations in Washington, DC and Laurel, MD, and compliance with the detailed Government Paper Specification Standards (e.g., precision tolerances, demerit categories for optical brighteners, thickness, strength, etc.). Responses must be submitted in PDF format (max 20 pages, excluding pricing attachments) via email to jwebb@gpo.gov and tmizelle@gpo.gov no later than 15:00 EST on 11 May 2026. The submission should address the capability questions, provide relevant past performance, list applicable contract vehicles (e.g., GSA MAS, SEWP), recommend NAICS/PSC codes, identify any risks or gaps, and include the required ROM pricing for each CLIN. This RFI is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract.
