RFQ 1126021B - 2026 King Salmon Stamp Printing

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 1126021B) for the procurement of 2026 King Salmon Stamps, seeking a vendor to produce 10,000 total stamps comprising 400 sheets of 25 stamps each. The specific requirements include a three-ply carbonless continuous computer paper design with black text printed on an orange background, featuring a "fish" watermark and self-adhesive properties. Stamps must be sequentially numbered from 000001 through 010000, with precise die-cutting and perforation specifications. The procurement is structured for competitive bidding, with quotes due by 2:00 PM AKST on August 4, 2025, and a final delivery deadline of October 31, 2025, to the ADF&G Licensing office in Juneau. Potential vendors should submit electronic proposals via email to dfg.contracting@alaska.gov, with direct inquiries to Procurement Officer Hollie Roselle at hollie.roselle@alaska.gov or 907-465-8731.

The RFQ includes several preference considerations that may impact vendor selection, notably a 5% Alaska Bidder Preference, potential 2% Alaska Military Skills Program Preference, and a 5% Alaska Veteran Preference. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement allows for competitive pricing adjustments based on these preferences. Vendors must submit pricing in U.S. funds, excluding applicable taxes, with payment to be processed within 30 days of goods or service receipt. The stamps will support salmon fishing licenses, which range from $10 for annual resident licenses to $100 for annual non-resident licenses, suggesting the economic context of the stamp production. No incumbent vendor is mentioned, and there are no explicit restrictions on organization types beyond the state-specific preference programs, indicating an open competitive procurement process for qualified printing vendors capable of meeting the detailed technical specifications.
