Specific printing requirements mandate the use of orange 110# paper with a minimum of 20% post-consumer content, black text on front and back, consecutive numbering, perm-tack tape adhesive, and perforations. The licenses must be printed on recycled paper meeting Green Seal or EcoLogo certification standards, and each must include the statement "Printed on Recycled Paper". All licenses must be delivered by March 31, 2024, with proofs requiring prior Department of Game, Fish & Parks approval. The solicitation was posted on December 28, 2023, with proposals due by January 16, 2024, and the contract is specifically applicable to Codington County within South Dakota.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. The contract opportunity appears open to standard commercial printing vendors capable of meeting the precise technical specifications. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the documents indicate a clear expectation of high-quality, environmentally conscious production. The total potential contract value appears to be for the production of 171,750 total licenses, though an exact dollar value was not specified in the available documentation. Vendors must carefully review the detailed specifications in the attached documents, particularly the "Vendor Issued Temporary Park Entrance License Specifications" and "Temporary Park Entrance License Specifications" PDFs, to ensure complete compliance with the state's requirements. The procurement follows standard state procedures as outlined in the South Dakota Vendor Manual, which provides additional guidance on bidding and contract processes.
