PT-1 Property Tags 8-25.docx

This is a printing services bid request from the Department of Technology, Management & Budget for property tags designated as "PT-1 Property Tags." The department is requesting 50,000 property tags with specific dimensions of 5¼ x 2⅝ inches, printed in black ink on one side using #6 13 pt. Manila tag stock. The tags require specialized bindery work including a ¼" hole with fiber reinforced eyelet and metal wire tied through the eyelet, and must be packed in groups of 100 with carton packing not exceeding 40 pounds per carton. An electronic file will be provided by the department, and vendors must submit a color PDF proof for approval before production begins.

The department awards bids based on best price and value to the state, meaning the lowest bidder may not necessarily receive the award if their bid does not provide the best overall value due to factors such as past quality concerns or inability to meet requirements. Only prequalified vendors will be considered for this opportunity. Vendors must attach detailed quote letters with their bids, as failure to do so will result in bid disqualification. A proof sample is required as part of the bidding process, and the department has indicated that an electronic file and sample image are available to assist vendors in preparing their bids.
