About this file

This is a Request for Informal Bid (RFIB) issued by the State of North Dakota Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Central Services Division for printing services. The solicitation seeks a vendor to produce 1,500 copies of a "Traffic Control Requirements" book with specific technical specifications, including 96 pages at 5.5" x 8.5" finished size, printed on 100# white gloss cover stock with 4-color process printing and plastic spiral binding. The bid is due on March 25, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with delivery required by April 22, 2025, to the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) in Bismarck. The procurement is structured as an all-or-none bid, exclusively accepting bids from North Dakota-based printers.

The bid has several notable provisions, including a North Dakota printing preference that will automatically reject out-of-state bidders, and requires the successful vendor to provide electronic print-ready artwork and a color proof of the entire book. Pricing will be evaluated on a delivered price basis, with unit prices prevailing in case of mathematical discrepancies. The state will not pay sales tax and requires the winning bidder to be registered with the North Dakota Secretary of State. The award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder conforming to specifications, with the state reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Vendors must also complete a supplier registration process to receive payment.
