Dog License Tags 2023

The City of Pittsburgh's Office of Management & Budget, acting on behalf of the Department of Finance, has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ-238) for Dog License Tags 2023, seeking a vendor to produce three specific styles of dog license tags. The procurement requires 5,000 one-year orange tags starting with serial number 5001, 5,000 three-year red tags starting with serial number 1001, and 1,000 twelve-year silver tags starting with serial number 1. All tags must be precisely manufactured as 1"x1-3/8" oval aluminum tags with a .18" diameter hole, featuring straight-line stamping that includes the expiration date, license serial number, and "Pittsburgh" designation. The solicitation was released on November 2, 2022, with responses due by November 16, 2022, at 3:00 pm, structured as a one-time purchase. Vendors must submit unit costs for each tag type, with no alternative proposals accepted, and include all shipping and delivery expenses within their pricing. The city will utilize purchase orders with F.O.B. Destination terms and Net 45 days payment conditions, and reserves the right to reject any bids that do not meet the specified requirements.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement is specific to the City of Pittsburgh and covers the licensing needs for dog owners within the jurisdiction. The document indicates that the city is tax-exempt from federal, state, and city taxes for tangible personal property, which may impact overall procurement costs. The total anticipated procurement appears to cover 11,000 dog license tags across three different tag types, with pricing to be determined through the competitive bidding process. Invoicing requirements mandate that submitted invoices include the city's Purchase Order Number, the solicitation number, and a detailed pricing breakdown. The procurement is focused on a standard municipal service requirement and appears to be a routine annual process for managing dog licensing within the City of Pittsburgh.
