Printing and typesetting services

The New Hampshire Bureau of Graphic Services, on behalf of the NH Department of Safety, is seeking a vendor to print 480,000 high-security Motor Vehicle Certificates of Title (Project #260153). The procurement requires one-part laser forms sized 8-1/2" x 11" with a 3% acceptable variance in quantity. Deliverables include three staged shipments: 50,000 forms by September 15, 2025, followed by two subsequent shipments of 215,000 forms by January 2, 2026, and June 2, 2026. Strict qualification requirements mandate that bidders must be manufacturers capable of producing and storing the product within their own facility. The bid specifications demand extremely rigorous security features, including controlled-distribution paper with an eagle watermark, embedded security threads, fluorescent fibers, chemical sensitivity features, and advanced anti-fraud printing techniques like microprint lines, latent images, void pantographs, and erasure-sensitive inks. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest qualified bid meeting all technical and security specifications, with the bid submission deadline set for 2:00 p.m. EDT on August 21, 2025.

The solicitation appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide product samples demonstrating their capability to meet complex security specifications, and the contract includes detailed provisions for process security, carton security, and quality assurance. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement involves printing 480,000 high-security forms across three shipments, suggesting a significant contract value. The invoicing will occur upon initial shipment and confirmation of total quantity, with the state accepting an invoice for the full contract amount. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that would require integration. The procurement is specifically limited to manufacturers who can produce and securely store the specialized certificates within their own facility, which may restrict the pool of potential bidders.
