This is a bid tabulation sheet for the North Dakota Parks & Recreation Department's procurement of 2025 ND Annual State Park Permits (Bid #110.7-24-077). The procurement, managed by Procurement Officer Steve Lippert, solicited bids for two items: 17,000 single-style permits and 5,000 family pass permits, with bids opened on Friday, October 11, 2024. Four vendors submitted proposals: Pro Forms, Unlimited Office Products, Borden Decal, and American Solutions For Business, with delivery capability being a key evaluation criterion.

American Solutions For Business was awarded the contract as the lowest responsive bidder, offering unit prices of $0.14848 for single-style permits and $0.52139 for family passes, totaling $5,131.11. The winning bid represented significant savings compared to other proposals, which ranged from $9,950.00 (Borden Decal) to $15,700.00 (Pro Forms). Pro Forms' bid was rejected due to their inability to meet delivery requirements, while Borden Decal's bid was also rejected despite being able to meet delivery terms. The procurement demonstrates competitive pricing with the winning bid being approximately 48% lower than the second-lowest acceptable proposal from Unlimited Office Products at $10,130.00.
