PR-323 Star Volunteer Sticker

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Bureau of Finance issued Request for Bid (RFB) #17-069-29 for the procurement of 100,000 Star Volunteer stickers. The stickers must be 1" x 2" with a 1/16" overhang for backer on all four sides, printed in two specific metallic colors: Gold (PMS #10343C) and Blue (PMS #10249C) on white premium sticker stock with matte laminate. Vendors must package the stickers in rolls of 500 with a 3" core, ensuring waste is removed during production. The bid was due on May 23, 2017, at 2:00 PM CDT, with required delivery by June 20, 2017, to the DNR Warehouse in Madison. Evaluation criteria for vendor selection include previous performance, equipment capabilities, production personnel, experience, plant location, proof delivery timing, and communication ease. Bidders must submit quality samples, color proofs, and complete all work within their own plant, with subletting prohibited without prior written state approval.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the procurement documents. Bidders are required to comply with state and federal labor laws, provide nondiscrimination assurances, and maintain worker's compensation and liability insurance coverage of at least one million dollars. The contract includes standard terms and conditions for Wisconsin printing, with bid prices remaining firm for 60 days from the bid opening date. Overruns are limited to 3% for quantities up to 10,000 units and 1% for quantities exceeding 10,000 units, with contractors paid only for actual quantities delivered within this tolerance. No underruns are permitted. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for 100,000 stickers, which suggests a moderate-sized contract for promotional materials supporting the state's volunteer programs.
