2025 FMNP Vouchers

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the production and delivery of Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) vouchers, with quotes due on March 18, 2025, at 9:00 AM CDT. The procurement requires vendors to produce secure, printed vouchers with unique six-digit serial numbers and corresponding QR codes for farmer redemption. Vendors must submit quotes for vouchers in sheet format, with an optional quote for booklet production. The deliverables must be delivered by May 1, 2025, with specific requirements for printing accuracy, security features, and formatting. Payment terms are structured as Net 60 days per Iowa Code 8A.514, with potential discounts for 15-day and 30-day payment options. Shipping must be completed FOB Destination, Freight Prepaid. The RFQ includes two product line items: mandatory FMNP Vouchers and an optional Alternative Production Format, with no service line items included in the solicitation.

The solicitation is administered collaboratively by IDALS in partnership with the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, local WIC clinics, and state Area Agencies on Aging. While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions are explicitly mentioned, vendors must demonstrate capability to produce high-security, accurately formatted vouchers meeting precise specifications. The program supports nutrition assistance for WIC participants and seniors, suggesting potential priority for vendors with experience in government nutrition program document production. Though specific award values are not detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the statewide voucher production suggests a potentially significant contract. Vendors will need to provide comprehensive quotes that address both mandatory and optional production formats, with a focus on secure, accurate document production that facilitates nutrition program participation across multiple state agencies.
