This community newspaper shall continue to be called the "Hansconian". The NAICS for this procurement is 511110 and the Small Business Standard is 500 employees.

This request is issued using commercial practices in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items. The Period of Performance for this award shall include one (1) Basic Year and four (4) Option Years. The following are evaluation criteria: ability to meet contract requirements, production capability, quality of work, convenience of communication (distance to publisher, ability to transfer files electronically) and past performance. The Performance Work Statement (PWS), Clauses, Reps and Certs will/can be accessed/obtained on the HERB website at http://www.herbb.hanscom.af.mil. No telephone inquiries to this notice will be considered. Respondents to the RFQ should do one of the following: E-mail: kay.teahan@hanscom.af.mil; Mail: ESC/PKOP, Attn: Kay Teahan, 20 Schilling Circle, Bldg. 1305, 3rd Fl., Hanscom AFB, MA 01731-2800; Fax 781-377-4324.
