Disabilities Parking Placards

The Illinois Office of the Secretary of State is requesting bids from qualified vendors for the printing of several versions of Disabilities Parking Placards. The IFB includes detailed specifications for four different placard types, including permanent, temporary, organizational, and free parking placards, with quantities ranging from 10,000 to 1,200,000 units per version. The contract term is for an initial period of 3 years, with the option to renew for up to 10 years total. Bids must include itemized pricing for each placard type, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest total price. The bid submission deadline is May 26, 2023, with a mandatory bidder's conference scheduled prior to the due date.

The IFB does not indicate any small business, minority, women, or disabled veteran-owned business set-asides, but it does note that vendors must be a union print shop. There is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The total award amount is $1,136,338, and the project will be funded by the State of Illinois, though the specific budget amount is not disclosed.
