Re-Bid Avery Dennison TrafficJet Xpress Inks and Sheeting

The City of Philadelphia is soliciting bids on Avery Dennison TrafficJet Xpress inks and sheeting for the Department of Streets, with bids due October 14, 2026. This is a single-source procurement — the City's TrafficJet printers require Avery brand consumables exclusively; use of alternative products will damage equipment and void the manufacturer's warranty.

The scope comprises inks and sheeting materials for TrafficJet printers used to produce Philadelphia traffic signage. Bidders must quote all line items to be eligible for award. The procurement will be awarded as a whole or by individual line item to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

No contract value, estimated quantities, or contract term are disclosed in the source material. This is a small order purchase with no set-asides or preference programs applied, though the City is collecting voluntary LGBTQ business ownership and certification data on a separate optional form.

All bids must be submitted through the PHLContracts platform (www.PHLContracts.phila.gov). Vendors must submit an executed Consent and Authorization Agreement — either at profile registration or as an attachment to their first quote — to be deemed responsive. The agreement designates account responsibility and authorizes submission on behalf of the company. Signature requirements vary by entity type: corporations require signatures from both an officer (President or Vice President) and a treasurer-level or secretary-level officer; LLCs, partnerships, and sole proprietorships require signatures from partners or owners. Bidders are instructed not to deliver products or provide services until notified by the department.
