I read a lot from this site and it's very good, but I cannot yet piece this part together......
Are there vendors willing to handle BOTH screen printing AND then ship BULK inventory ALREADY prepared in a way acceptable to Amazon's storage/fulfillment services?
I don't want to "touch" the inventory.
Please don't suggest Cafepress, etc. I'm willing to invest in inventory but cannot handle it at any time myself in the near future. Thank you.

POD fulfillment is what you are looking for. Use the search feature at the top of the page and search for POD and you will get several posts where this topic was discussed.
Off the top of my head, spreadshirt, printfection, zazzle.

POD fulfilment doesn't deal in screenprinting, doesn't deal in bulk, and is very much "Cafepress, etc."
As for the answer... it depends on how onerous Amazon's packing requirements are. Assuming they're not crazy particular, then just about any screenprinter should be able to handle your order. Any screenprinter will print in bulk and ship to a nominated address for you, without you ever having to touch a single t-shirt. Most of them will also tag and bag them for you per your requirements (for a fee, of course).
If you deal with a large contract printer they may have experience working with Amazon specifically, but even a small local screenprinter should be able to handle the order provided you can supply any needed hangtags, etc.
