- Description
- The General Services Administration (GSA) Office of the Chief Architect (OCA) uses graphic design services to support an extensive range of publications and reports. As an expression of Design Excellence, most of the new work should complement the quality and design strategies already developed for the OCA. A pdf with samples from previously executed projects will be attached to the Request for Proposals (RFP) to familiarize graphic design professionals with the OCA publications program. In this context, GSA announces its intent to issue an RFP for Graphic Design Services for up to five (5) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts supporting projects, on an as-needed basis, within the Public Buildings Service Office of the Chief Architect. Each contract will consist of a base year, extending 365 calendar days from the date of contract award and four (4) additional one-year options to be exercised at the discretion of the Contracting Officer for a potential total duration of 5 years. The base year and each option year will have a $500,000 maximum order limitation. All work will be performed based on firm-fixed-price task orders issued under the basic contract for services. Task order work scopes will require a variety of services including, but not limited to, design, layout, art preparation, photo scans and proofs, preparation of print-ready digital files, printing specifications and image inventory documents, other pre-press services, and press inspection services related to the printing of such publications as books, program guides, monographs, brochures, posters, exhibits, announcements, invitations, event programs, and certificates. The Design Excellence selection process will utilize source selection procedures in accordance with the best value tradeoff process in FAR 15.101-1. All evaluating factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. A majority of the awards made under this solicitation will be to small businesses concerns.
