About this file
This document is an Addendum to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) for the procurement of 18 different versions of branded gift cards to be used in over 600 Fine Wine & Good Spirits Stores. The cards must be delivered within 4-6 weeks of final approval of the artwork and proof. The IFB includes a quantity discrepancy, as the total quantity needed for the PLCB #86997 FWGS $25 gift cards is 7,000 cards, not 1,000 as indicated on the Sample Cost Sheet. The bid due date is April 2, 2024 at 12:00 P.M. EST.
The solicitation is open to all responsive and responsible bidders, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest bidder that meets the requirements. Pricing terms, set-asides, funding sources, and other salient information were not provided in the Addendum. The PLCB is willing to accept delivery within 4-6 weeks of final artwork and proof approval, as opposed to the original 4-week requirement.

Questions and Answers
Q1. The following requirement appears on page 11 of the Invitation for Bid: “Delivery of cards must be within four (4) weeks of final approval of artwork and proof.”
Given the scope of work, this lead time is quite a bit shorter than industry standard and would be particularly difficult for a non-incumbent supplier to satisfy. Would the PLCB consider awarding to a bidder that is unable to commit to this turn time?
A1. As stated within the specifications, this single award contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder as determined by the total cost that meets the requirements and criteria set forth in this IFB. By submitting a bid, the bidder is confirming they are able to commit to all specifications, including delivery time. However, the PLCB is willing to accept delivery within four (4) to six (6) weeks of final approval of artwork and proof.
Q2. There is a quantity discrepancy in the IFB for the item PLCB #86997, the FWGS
$25 COC. On Page 7 of the IFB, the quantity for this item is indicated as 7,000. On Attachment #4, the Sample Cost Sheet, the quantity for this item is indicated as 1,000. Please confirm which quantity is correct.
A2. Confirming total quantity needed for PLCB item #86997, Gift Card, FWGS $25
Hanging (COC) is 7,000 cards. (25 cards per pack X 280 packs= 7,000 cards).
