The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 25-055 for a comprehensive printing and delivery contract involving eight different #10 envelopes. The procurement seeks to produce a total of 55,120,000 envelopes to be delivered to the DMV Warehouse in Sacramento, California, with scheduled deliveries between July 2025 and February 2026. Specific envelope requirements include a standard size of 9-1/2" x 4-1/8", with precise specifications for paper quality and compatibility with mass mail equipment. Bidders must submit electronic proposals via email by May 12, 2025, with a formal bid opening on May 13, 2025. The solicitation requires vendors to demonstrate technical capability to produce multiple envelope designs for various DMV forms and communications, with an emphasis on high-quality printing and reliable delivery performance. Evaluation will focus on identifying the lowest responsible responsive bidder, with the DMV reserving the right to reject any or all submissions.

The contract includes significant opportunities for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation, with potential bid incentives ranging from 3-5% for vendors meeting specific participation requirements. Interested bidders must certify compliance with California civil rights laws and Iran Contracting Act regulations, and demonstrate the ability to perform a commercially useful function. The current contract is held by Response Envelope, Inc., which has been providing envelopes at a consistent rate of $18.65 per 1,000 envelopes across multiple envelope designs. While the exact total contract value is not specified, the procurement covers eight distinct envelope types for DMV communication needs. The jurisdictions directly involved in this procurement include Sacramento County and San Francisco City, though the contract appears to be a statewide DMV initiative. Prospective vendors should carefully review all compliance requirements and be prepared to meet the technical and regulatory standards outlined in the solicitation.
