Printing- ND Parks Annual Permits

The North Dakota Office of Management and Budget/Central Services Division is seeking a printing services contract for the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department to produce 2026 Annual State Park Permits. The procurement involves two distinct permit types: 17,000 Single permits (3"x3" clear static cling window decals numbered 00001-17,000) and 5,000 Family Pass permits (7"x3" format with two 3"x3" permits, numbered 17001A&B-22,000A&B). Required specifications include 4-color process printing with opaque white flood coat on clear static cling material, white release board backers, and shrink-wrapping in packages of 100. Bids are due on August 7, 2025, at 1:00 PM through the SPO Online Electronic Response system, with a required delivery date of September 15, 2025, to the ND Parks & Recreation facility in Bismarck. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest responsible bidder meeting all technical specifications, with vendors required to submit electronic artwork files in Illustrator format and color laser proofs for both permit styles. The procurement is structured as an "All or None" award, meaning no split awards will be permitted.

The contract opportunity is exclusively restricted to North Dakota-based vendors in accordance with state printing preference laws. Vendors must provide both unit and total pricing for the permit types, with the state explicitly noting they will not pay sales or federal excise taxes. The successful bidder must provide F.O.B. destination pricing covering all transportation and handling charges. Based on the previous year's bid tabulation, the contract value is estimated between $5,000 and $10,000, with the most recent award to American Solutions For Business at $5,131.11. The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must demonstrate the capability to produce high-quality, consecutively numbered permits with precise color reproduction and the ability to meet strict delivery timelines. Electronic submission and compliance with all technical specifications are critical for consideration in this contract opportunity.
