Courier Services

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is issuing an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) Contract for Courier Services to qualify responsible and responsive contractors to perform pre-defined, as-needed, and emergency courier services across all 67 counties in the state. The selected contractors will be required to pick up and deliver shipments for Commonwealth agencies and other authorized users of the contract. Contractors must identify which of the 67 Pennsylvania counties they can service. Suppliers must first register as a PA Supplier and receive a vendor number, then create a user profile in the JAGGAER portal to complete the qualification requirements, which will only be accepted electronically through JAGGAER. Technical support is available through JAGGAER. The contract term is not specified, but the Commonwealth reserves the right to extend the contract for up to three months.

The procurement is open to any qualified supplier, but there are some set-aside designations. Contractors who are awarded the COSTARS contract must agree to sell the awarded courier services to registered COSTARS Members at the same prices and/or discounts, and in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions. Contractors will be required to pay an applicable Administrative Fee at the beginning of each contract year and upon each renewal. The procurement documents do not specify any incumbent vendors or an estimated contract value, but the Commonwealth aims to qualify multiple responsible and responsive contractors to provide these essential courier services across Pennsylvania.
