Award Posting Extension.doc

The document is an Award Posting Extension for the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV), specifically related to International Fuel Tax Association (IFTA) Decals. The solicitation seeks approximately 30,000 to 35,000 IFTA decals annually, with a contract spanning five years from 05/01/2025 to 04/31/2030. The initial contract will be for one year with four potential one-year renewal options. Vendors must submit bids by 05/12/2025 at 11:00 AM, with questions accepted until 04/21/2025. The decals must meet specific technical requirements, including reflective material, counterfeit-deterrent marks, and precise Pantone color specifications, with packaging of 50 decals per pack, 10 packs per box, and 5 boxes per case.

The procurement will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with potential evaluation considering vendor compliance, sample submissions, and quality assurance testing. While no specific budget range is provided, the annual volume suggests a substantial contract value. The solicitation appears open to vendors registered with the state, with potential preferences for resident vendors. No explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, but vendors must comply with IFTA guidelines and non-discrimination requirements. The competitive bidding process indicates that multiple vendors may be considered, and the decals are intended for motor carrier customers in Richland County and potentially statewide.
