Glass Plate with Engraving

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) National Office is seeking vendors to produce approximately 400 engraved glass plates annually through a pre-solicitation market research announcement. The procurement requires glass plates with specific engraving specifications, including Script MT Bold font, a centered BLM logo measuring 1.28" x 1.13", and designated spaces for award titles, recipient names, and location/team information. Interested vendors must submit their company details, including Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and size status/certifications such as ISBEE, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, and 8(a), along with capability statements. The submission deadline is 12:00 Noon MST on January 30, 2025, with all emails required to reference the solicitation number 140L0125Q0005. Vendors will be evaluated based on their capability to meet the detailed engraving and manufacturing specifications within the Glass Product Manufacturing NAICS category.

BLM is planning to award a 3-year firm-fixed price Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (Requirements) contract with three 1-year ordering periods under NAICS code 327215, which has a 1,000-employee size standard. The contract will cover the production of engraved glass plates, with each plate requiring precise font placement, logo positioning, and text area allocations. While no specific set-aside designation is currently indicated, the pre-solicitation notice suggests openness to various small business certifications. The total annual requirement is approximately 400 plates, indicating a potential contract value that would be attractive to small to medium-sized glass fabrication manufacturers. Vendors interested in this opportunity should carefully review the detailed engraving specifications and be prepared to demonstrate their manufacturing capabilities when submitting their capability statements.
