Question:

Blackinton is the main supplier of Badges and Pins for this bid. Thus, Blackinton controls Pricing ,Manufacturing, Inventory, Production and Shipping. If materials and Tariffs increase, how can a Distributor hold a price for 180 days? For delivery, meeting a 22 day schedule is very doable if that item is in stock. If not, 35-45 days is reasonable, since Blackinton is the only company that has the molds for most of the badges used by government agencies.

My suggestion. When the agency ( FLHSMW ) is placing an order, usually it will begin with a Quote or Order Confirmation. At that point, the Vendor will confirm with Blackinton, production and delivery schedule. As is the case with our current government agencies.

If awarded, the Contractor’s pricing is firm for the initial and renewal terms as included in the bid. However, price increase requests may be considered for extreme and unforeseen volatility in the marketplace during a contract term, in accordance with Section 2.b. of PUR 1000. Please see Section 7.0, Packing, Shipping and Delivery of ATTACHMENT B - SCOPE OF WORK which states:

“The Contractor shall submit all deliverables in accordance with the due date outlined in Table 2- Deliverable Schedule. An exact date will be determined in writing, upon mutual agreement between the Department’s Contract Manager and the Contractor.”

We are currently preparing our response to ITB-038-26 – Badges, Pins & Accessories. In order to obtain accurate and compliant pricing from manufacturers, vendors are requesting the official design artwork files for the badges and pins referenced in the solicitation.

Could you please provide the approved artwork (preferably in vector format such as AI, EPS, or high-resolution PDF) for quoting purposes? If there are multiple designs associated with specific line items, kindly clarify which artwork corresponds to each item.

We will treat all materials as confidential and use them solely for bid preparation purposes.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. We look forward to your guidance.
