Manufactured Home Aluminum Serial Number Tags

The State of Wisconsin Department of Administration, through its State Bureau of Procurement, is seeking a vendor to produce 1,000 manufactured home aluminum serial number tags for the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). The procurement requires specific manufacturing specifications, including tags made from .016" aluminum measuring 7/8" x 3 1/2", with black ink printing and a blue box behind consecutive numbers ranging from C 10500 to C 11499. The tags must have rounded corners and two 1/8" diameter holes positioned on the right and left sides. Bids were due on June 12, 2017, by 2:00 PM CT, with a required delivery date of July 21, 2017, to the DSPS located at 1400 East Washington Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with proofs required by July 7, 2017. Bidders must complete all work within their own manufacturing plant and cannot be a broker.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The bid requires bidders to confirm U.S. manufacturing of materials and submit a complete list of in-house equipment. Payment terms are net 30 days with F.O.B. destination freight prepaid and included in the bid price. Overruns are permitted up to 3% on quantities ordered up to 10,000 units, though underruns are not allowed. Bidders must submit unit pricing and a total price using the DOA-3070 form, along with the signed Request for Bid, Simplified Bid Printing Specifications (DOA-3769), quality samples for paper and inks, and a statement confirming all printing will be performed within their plant. While no specific budget range was provided, the procurement is for a relatively small quantity of specialized tags, suggesting a modest contract value.
