About this file
This document is a bid details communication for Request 26-493ISP-DIREC-R-305103 regarding promotional items procurement. The correspondence outlines manufacturing considerations and timeline constraints for a 2026 promotional items contract. The communication indicates involvement of a state or local entity (ISP) and a manufacturing vendor specializing in customized promotional products sourced through Chinese manufacturers.
The procurement involves three custom promotional items: embroidered pens with custom molds, 8-inch plush K9 toys, and 5-inch K9 keychains. A custom mold for the pens requires an initial investment of $1,200, which has been factored into the quoted price. Pre-production samples are recommended at a total cost of $345 ($195 for the 8-inch K9 plush sample and $150 for the 5-inch keychain sample), with full refund upon placement of a bulk order meeting a minimum 2,000-unit requirement for plush items. All products require manufacturing in China with an estimated production timeline of 28 days, plus an additional 25 days for sea freight shipping to reduce costs by approximately 25 percent. The vendor notes that Chinese manufacturing facilities will be closed during Chinese New Year celebrations (approximately February 10 through early March), which may impact delivery schedules. The vendor commits to third-party testing and compliance with U.S. mandatory child safety regulations for all plush toy products.

Hello, Please note that all three products you are requesting will need to be custom made. All three products are only manufactured in China, and currently none of the requested items are considered stock.
A new mold would need to be made for the top of the pens to match the hat you are requesting at a cost of $1,200 for the mold alone. I have factored that into the price I quoted.
It is not possible to quote plush K9’s with embroidered eyes. Below is a message from one of the main manufacturers of plush toys.
Sample Recommendation & Importance We highly suggest proceeding with pre-production samples first. A physical sample allows you to verify the realistic effect, fabric texture, embroidery details (eyes, nose, ISP patch), size, and overall workmanship in person. This step helps avoid inconsistencies between the bulk order and your expectations, ensuring the final products meet your requirements for a realistic K9 design.
4. Sample Fee & Refund Policy
- 8-inch K9 plush sample: USD 195
- 5-inch K9 keychain sample: USD 150 The total sample fee is USD 345. Once you place the bulk order (meeting the 2,000-unit plush requirement), the full sample fee will be 100% refunded.
I’m here to deliver a safe, fully compliant plush toy USA Mandatory Child safety regulations that your customer will want to reorder We 3rd party test every order— without any quality or safety risk.
Because all three products would need to be custom made, you are looking at a production time of roughly 28 days, and to save cost (roughly 25%) you would want to sea ship which would be another 25 days (estimated but close). Also, please note that production in China will shut down completely during the Chinese New Year celebrations. While the new year falls on Feb 17th, it is normal procedure for factories to shut down a week before that date and not re-open until early March.
