Lapel Pins Proof.All Years.pdf

This file is a visual reference document for the Florida Department of Revenue's Employee Recognition System ITN, showing lapel pin proof samples across multiple years. The document serves as a supporting exhibit demonstrating the physical award fulfillment component of the cloud-based SaaS employee recognition platform that the department seeks to implement for approximately 4,500 users across five programs. The imagery illustrates the types of tangible recognition items (lapel pins) that may be presented to employees for service milestones, retirement awards, and agency-wide nominated recognition, providing vendors with examples of the physical award fulfillment services the system must accommodate. The document establishes baseline expectations for award presentation options and demonstrates the department's historical approach to employee recognition through physical commemorative items.

The lapel pin proof document indicates that physical award fulfillment represents a critical component of the overall employee recognition solution, with the annual budget allocating $70,000 specifically for recognition awards costs beyond the $125,000 annual system implementation and services fee. This visual reference suggests that vendors must be capable of sourcing, producing, and delivering quality physical recognition items on a fulfillment-based model, potentially through an awards fulfillment partner or integrated supplier network. The document reinforces that the successful vendor must support a hybrid recognition approach combining digital platform functionality with tangible award distribution, meeting the 30-day delivery requirement for award fulfillment with associated penalty provisions for delays.
