SD Dept. of Game, Fish & Parks Temporary Park Entrance Licenses

The South Dakota Department of Game, Fish & Parks is seeking a vendor to print two distinct types of temporary park entrance licenses for Custer State Park in 2023. The procurement requires printing 200,000 standard temporary park entrance licenses (1,000 books with 200 licenses per book) and 8,000 vendor-issued temporary park entrance licenses (8 packages of 5 books with 50 licenses per book). Both license types must be printed on blue 110# paper with a minimum of 20% post-consumer content, printed in black on both front and back, and consecutively numbered. The licenses will be valid for seven consecutive days per vehicle at a cost of $20, and must include specific design elements such as a tack strip, employee signature line, and a statement about being printed on recycled paper. Deliverables must be submitted for proof approval and the final product must be delivered by March 31, 2023, which is a firm deadline. The procurement is being conducted through the State of South Dakota's Office of Procurement Management, with Codington County listed as the associated jurisdiction.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The solicitation appears to be open to any qualified printing vendor capable of meeting the detailed technical specifications. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the procurement documents include comprehensive technical requirements such as paper certification standards (Green Seal or EcoLogo), specific packaging instructions, and precise printing specifications. The total potential contract value appears to be for the production of 208,000 total licenses, though an exact dollar value was not specified in the available documentation. Vendors interested in responding to this opportunity would need to carefully review the detailed specifications in the "Temporary Park Entrance License Specifications" and "Vendor Temporary License Specifications" documents, ensuring complete compliance with all printing, numbering, and delivery requirements.
