2025 Custer State Park Temp Motorcycle Band Park Entrance License

The South Dakota Department of Game, Fish & Parks is seeking a vendor to print 80,000 temporary motorcycle band park entrance licenses for Custer State Park in 2025. The procurement is a Request for Quote (RFQ) for bands made of fade-resistant Tyvek material, measuring 1" wide x 10" long with specific design requirements including a bright/neon green color (PMS 375) and black ink printing. The bands must feature the Custer State Park logo, indicate "$20 per Motorcycle" pricing, and include sequential numbering from 00001 through 80,000. Specific packaging requirements mandate perforated sheets of 10 bands per page, with 100 bands sealed in each bag and boxes containing 5,000 bands, not exceeding 30 pounds. A proof must be submitted to Kristina Lorton at Custer State Park for approval, with a firm delivery deadline of March 7, 2025. The procurement is specific to Codington County and follows the state's procurement guidelines outlined in the South Dakota Vendor Manual.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly indicate set-aside designations or restrictions for specific enterprise types. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the precise technical specifications. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, potential bidders must comply with South Dakota's vendor registration requirements and procurement policies. The vendor must maintain adequate liability insurance and adhere to state corporate registration standards. The potential award value is not explicitly stated, but the scope involves producing 80,000 entrance bands at $20 each, suggesting a potential contract value around $1.6 million. Vendors should note that South Dakota provides preferences to resident businesses and resident manufacturers when all other factors are equal, and the state is exempt from federal and state taxes except for gasoline purchases.
