License Plate Shipping Services

The Nevada State Purchasing Division, on behalf of the Department of Motor Vehicles (NV DMV), is seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive license plate shipping services through RFP 81DMV-S3433. The solicitation requires vendors to manage daily pickup and delivery of license plates from the License Plate Factory to Nevada residents and potentially other United States locations, with capabilities to handle shipping volumes ranging from single parcels to over 1,000 units daily. Vendors must provide guaranteed services, maintain web-based tracking systems with electronic data transfer capabilities, and ensure license plate deliveries within 5 business days. The evaluation criteria will be weighted across five categories: shipping solution experience (40%), cost (30%), packaging and delivery experience (10%), key personnel expertise (10%), and systems accommodation ability (10%). The RFP was released on August 6, 2025, with proposals due on August 26, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and the anticipated contract start date is November 1, 2025, subject to Board of Examiners approval.

Nevada-based businesses will receive a 5% preference in the evaluation process, while out-of-state vendors may be subject to inverse preferences based on their home state's policies. The contract will have an initial 4-year term with options to renew for an additional 4 years in 2-year increments. The total project budget is not to exceed $6,750,000 over the 8-year potential contract period. Vendors must provide comprehensive transportation services, maintain required insurance coverage, and offer dedicated support representatives with 24-hour technical service availability. The solicitation requires vendors to complete various mandatory forms, including a reference questionnaire, vendor information response, and certification regarding lobbying. Successful contractors must adhere to specific insurance requirements, including Commercial General Liability ($2,000,000 aggregate, $1,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and Workers' Compensation coverage, with all policies naming the State of Nevada as an additional insured.
