Georgetown University does not at this time have a preferred relationship with any printing vendors. We do however have several vendors that we would recommend based on previous history.

NOTE: The GU Print Shop has been closed. At this time you may use the vendor of your choice. Proper bidding guidelines are to still be followed.

If you are seeking to have watermarked letterhead printed, then the vendor who is to print your letterhead should contact George Montgomery (202-687-5244) in the print shop to purchase the watermarked paper (this will only be sold by the ream). The vendor will use the paper to do your printing and pass the cost of the paper onto your department via the invoice. To save money on graphic art charges, you should give Steve Dally the job number of the last letterhead job that the old Print Shop had done for your department. From that number George Montgomery will be able to pull your films and send them to you. Give your films to your vendor and from them they should be able to make plates to print your job, which will save you money.

Requesting Bids

We encourage you to get more than one quote for your printing project, however for dollar amounts below $5,000 it is not required.

For printing projects that are from $5,000 to $25,000 Georgetown University's bid policies state that you must obtain at least two quotes.

For printing projects that are above $25,000, Georgetown University's bid policies require at least three written quotes.

Note: All quotes obtained must be attached to the Requisition and sent to Purchasing & Contracts for auditing purposes.

If you have additional questions about printing please contact Jane Lamb at 7-2507.
