Roll to Roll Wide Format Printer

The State of North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (NCDAC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the procurement of a roll-to-roll wide format printer. The agency requires this printer to produce large posters and banners for customers, as their current equipment is old and has drying issues. The IFB provides detailed technical specifications for the required printer, including features related to ink, media handling, print quality, and software compatibility. Pricing is requested for the initial one-time purchase, installation, and training, as well as optional annual maintenance and software support for the second and third years. The contract term is one year with two optional one-year renewal periods. Bids are due by August 13, 2024, and a mandatory site visit is scheduled for August 1, 2024.

The IFB encourages participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) and requests information on the use of recycled content in product packaging and materials. The IFB does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any specific budget ranges or award values. However, it includes standard terms and conditions related to the state's e-procurement process, acceptance criteria, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.
