About this file

This is a Response to Offeror Questions document issued by the South Dakota Office of Program Management (OPM) in Pierre, South Dakota, regarding RFP #26RFP19906 for the 2027 Vacation Guide Print Project. The project requires the production and delivery of 250,000 vacation guides to be bulk-packed on skids and shipped to Midstates Group in Aberdeen, South Dakota. All questions from potential offerors submitted by the August 19, 2026 deadline were compiled and addressed collectively to ensure transparency and fairness across the competitive bidding process.

Packaging specifications require that all 250,000 guides be uniformly packed on skids using cardboard sheets, hardboard corner protection, pallet wrap, flat wood boards, and metal banding, with full skids containing approximately 2,160 guides and partial skids permitted as needed. Skids may not exceed 40 inches in total height and must be packed securely to prevent shifting or damage during shipment. The chosen print vendor will securely bulk ship all guides directly to the fulfillment contractor, Midstates Group in Aberdeen, South Dakota. The specific packaging requirements for 2027 will be handled through the fulfillment contract with Midstates Group, with shrinkwrapping and boxing no longer included as part of the print vendor's pricing responsibilities.
