This file is a temporary parking placard design document for the Illinois Secretary of State's office, which is seeking bids from qualified vendors for the printing of Persons with Disabilities Permanent and Temporary Parking Placards. The 2027 temporary placard design displays security features including a unique alphanumeric code (RPA RAM BEF NAJ GUA LUJ NUJ YAM CED VON TCO PES), month indicators for the calendar year, and explicit warnings regarding transferability and unauthorized use. The placard specifies that the authorized holder must be present when entering or exiting the vehicle to utilize parking privileges and must remove the placard before the vehicle is in motion.

The placard design includes prominent legal notices warning that copying or duplicating the placard is illegal and that unauthorized use may result in a $500 fine, suspension of the driver's license, and/or revocation of the placard. As of January 1, 2014, authorized placard holders are required to pay all applicable parking fees, with failure to do so resulting in fines assessed to the vehicle. The document indicates a production date of April 2025 with a print run of 85 million units, identified as VSD 394.29, and is printed under the authority of the State of Illinois. The specific quantities, pricing terms, response deadlines, and other contract details would be contained in the related Invitation for Bid (IFB) document referenced in the contract opportunity notice.
