Benefit Profile Printing & Mailing

NYSTRS is seeking bids from qualified and experienced firms (“Bidders”) to print and mail personalized annual benefit profile statements (“Profiles”) to its active and vested members. The Profile is one of many important tools for NYSTRS’ members when it comes to retirement planning and making well-informed decisions on the way to retirement. Each Profile contains our members’ service and contribution accruals, benefit calculations and projections, address and beneficiary information, and explanatory text.

NYSTRS intends to make a single award to the highest-scored responsive and responsible Bidder, as determined by the evaluation process (the “Contractor”). The initial contract term shall commence upon contract execution.

NYSTRS has partnered with Bonfire Interactive to manage its solicitations. This allows bidders to electronically submit bids through a portal on NYSTRS website. Please note:
