Map Printing Svcs-GA State Highway &Transportation

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) issued an electronic Request for Quotes (eRFQ) pursuant to the State Purchasing Act (O.C.G.A. 50-5-50 et seq.) to establish a contract for map printing services for Georgia Official State Highway and Transportation commodities. The procurement solicitation (Event ID 48400-DOT0003441) sought qualified suppliers capable of providing printing services across multiple volume tiers: printing of 1 to 500,000 maps per cycle and printing of more than 500,000 maps per cycle, with estimated quantities of 250,000 maps for the first tier and 500,000 maps for the second tier per cycle. The procurement included one-time set-up costs for printing operations in addition to per-unit printing costs. The solicitation was posted on December 18, 2025, with a closing date of February 6, 2026, for the submission of quotes. Four vendors submitted responses to this solicitation, and evaluation of proposals was completed with award determination based on pricing analysis and evaluation criteria established in the eRFQ documents.

The Notice of Intent to Award was posted to the Georgia Procurement Registry on April 9, 2026, identifying Frederic Printing (Consolidated Graphics Services, Inc.) as the successful offeror with an estimated award amount of $4,501.02. Three offerors were deemed unsuccessful and non-responsive: William and Heintz Map Company, Lagniappe Creative Consulting, LLC, and Saylor Mapping Solutions. Bidding prices demonstrated significant variation across vendors, with cost-per-map rates ranging from $0.51 to $7.00 depending on volume tier and bidder, and set-up costs ranging from $2.35 to $4,500.00. The procurement documents do not identify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types eligible to respond. Protests to the award must be submitted electronically to doas.protests@doas.ga.gov in accordance with Georgia Procurement Manual procedures. The relatively modest estimated award amount of $4,501.02 indicates this is a specialized but limited-scope procurement for map printing services.
