Request for Information (RFI):
Mail Management Services
Morgan County Government
January 29, 2026
- RFI Overview
The Morgan County Board of Commissioners is seeking responses from vendors that provide mail management services. The Board of Commissioners would like to learn about potential partnerships with vendors that could serve offices throughout Morgan County Government. The emphasis for this inquiry is placed on how these partnerships could help Morgan County realize cost savings while retaining exceptional accuracy. Mail management services may include but may not be limited to consulting with County Officials to ensure their mailings reach the intended recipients in a timely manner while using the lowest cost postage, daily mail pickup services, mail presorting, and mail recipient data processing. Many mailings are required to be postmarked the same day they are picked up from government offices, and a single mailing may need to reach tens of thousands of residents.
Please note that this Request for Information (RFI) is for informational purposes only, and no contract will be awarded as a result. A firm or organization’s response to the RFI—or lack thereof—will have no impact on the evaluation of responses to any subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) or Invitation to Bid (ITB) released. Responses will be used solely for information and planning purposes.
However, respondents to this RFI may be asked to provide a brief presentation in a public meeting to offices across Morgan County Government about the services they can provide. The meeting will include a question and answer session.
Please note that all responses will be public record. Do not submit confidential information in your response.
