T2854 - License Plates, Manufacturing, Printing and Related Services - NJMVC

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC), through the Department of the Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property, is soliciting bids for a comprehensive license plate materials, manufacturing, printing, and related services contract (Bid Solicitation #25DPP01178). The procurement seeks a vendor to supply aluminum alloy coil stock and printed reflective sheeting for producing approximately 1,500,000 license plate pairs and 80,700 single plates annually, covering standard and specialized plate types including commercial, passenger, trailer, agricultural, military, organizational, sports, and vanity plates. Bidders must submit pricing for five mandatory price lines and demonstrate technical capabilities meeting specific ASTM standards for aluminum properties, retroreflective characteristics, color specifications, and weathering resistance. The electronic questions deadline is November 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with quote opening scheduled for December 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Evaluation will focus on the most advantageous quote considering pricing and other factors, with bidders required to provide a Specification Conformance Form, ownership disclosure forms, a mobilization plan, and evidence of successful experience on similar contracts. The contract term is four years with potential for three one-year extensions by mutual written consent.

The procurement is not designated as a Small Business or Disabled Veteran-Owned Business set-aside, meaning all qualified vendors can compete. Bidders must complete comprehensive documentation including an ownership disclosure form, demonstrating any ownership interests of 10 percent or greater, and listing all officers and directors. The State requires vendors to disclose any pending investigations, criminal matters, or debarment proceedings, and identify potential subcontractors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the solicitation indicates the contract will cover the production of approximately 1.5 million plate pairs annually, suggesting a substantial annual procurement value. Vendors must be prepared to develop disaster recovery plans, security plans for material handling, and provide standard and ad-hoc reporting to the State Contract Manager. This solicitation represents a reprocurement of the existing T2854 contract currently scheduled to expire June 30, 2026, indicating continuity of service is a key objective for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
