Custom Warrants Printing Services

The California State Controller's Office (SCO) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Custom Warrant Printing Services. The IFB seeks a contractor to provide printing and delivery services, agreement management, and project coordination for four different custom printed warrant series: 01-03 Payroll, 10-14 CalSTRS/CalPERS, 60-69 General Disbursement with Explanation of Benefits, and 70-79 In-Home Supportive Services. The IFB specifies quantities, delivery schedules, and technical specifications for each warrant series. Bids are due by September 12, 2024, and the contract term is for one year with options to amend the agreement. The IFB includes bidding preferences and incentives such as the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) program, Small Business (SB) preference, and Target Area Contract Preference Act (TACPA). The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and contractors are required to meet minimum qualifications and submit various certifications and attachments with their bid proposals.

The IFB is open to all qualified bidders, but includes preferences for DVBE, SB, and TACPA-certified firms. The value of the contract is not specified, but the IFB outlines pricing based on a Cost Worksheet and includes quality standards, refund provisions, and packaging/delivery requirements. No information is provided regarding incumbent vendors or the current state of any existing infrastructure or technology that may require integration.
