This is a Solicitation Addendum One containing Questions and Answers for Nebraska's Department of Administrative Services, Materiel Division, State Purchasing Bureau regarding the printing of annual and duplicate park permits for Nebraska-licensed vehicles, non-Nebraska-licensed vehicles, and active-duty military vehicles. The solicitation encompasses five distinct permit booklet versions with estimated annual quantities of 220,000 Nebraska licensed vehicle annual permits, 120,000 Nebraska licensed vehicle duplicate permits, 50,000 non-Nebraska licensed vehicle annual permits, 40,000 non-Nebraska licensed vehicle duplicate permits, and 20,000 active-duty military licensed vehicle annual permits. All permits must be produced in book format with sequential numbering, specific design specifications, and sales registers for permit agents. Written questions were due by February 17, 2026, with State responses provided by this addendum dated February 24, 2026. Bids are due March 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, with evaluation occurring March 10-12, 2026 and Intent to Award posted by March 12, 2026. The contract term is four years from execution with options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods upon mutual agreement.

The addendum clarifies critical pricing and quantity specifications that bidders must understand when completing cost sheets. Unit costs are priced per M (one thousand units), and the quantity column in the cost sheet refers to the number of thousands available for ordering within each range, not necessarily matching the range upper limits. For example, when the range is 200,001-250,000 units with a quantity of 458,000 listed, this represents 458 thousand units available at the specified price. Previous award pricing is available for reference at the State's website. The State reserves the right to contract for the same or similar goods from other sources, making this a non-exclusive contract, and the selected vendor must deliver all permits by September 8th of each contract year or the first business day thereafter with fixed pricing for the first contract year and any subsequent increases requiring 30 days' written notice and supporting documentation subject to State approval. All bidders must meet Nebraska Secretary of State and Tax Commissioner registration requirements and comply with applicable civil rights and equal opportunity employment laws.
