SCDMV IFTA Decals

The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (SCDMV) is seeking bids for International Fuel Tax Association (IFTA) decals through an Invitation For Bid (IFB) solicitation. The procurement aims to acquire approximately 30,000 to 35,000 IFTA decals annually, with specific technical requirements including reflective material, counterfeit-deterrent marks, and precise Pantone color specifications. The decals must meet stringent design standards, with packaging specifications of 50 decals per pack, 10 packs per box, and 5 boxes per case. The contract will span five years, beginning 05/01/2025 and ending 04/31/2030, with an initial one-year contract and four potential one-year renewal options. Vendors must submit bids by 05/12/2025 at 11:00 AM, with questions accepted until 04/21/2025. The award will be granted to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with potential evaluation considering vendor compliance, sample submissions, and quality assurance testing.

The solicitation appears open to vendors registered with the state, with potential preferences for resident vendors and specific end-product requirements. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, vendors must comply with IFTA guidelines and non-discrimination requirements. The competitive bidding process suggests that multiple vendors may be considered, though no incumbent vendors are specifically identified. The procurement does not provide a precise budget range, but the estimated annual volume of 30,000 to 35,000 decals indicates a substantial potential contract value. Prospective bidders must be prepared to meet detailed technical specifications, provide sample decals for testing, and demonstrate capability to produce high-quality, secure IFTA decals that meet the SCDMV's precise requirements for motor carrier customers in Richland County and potentially statewide.
