T3102 - Courier Delivery Services - DOL, DHS & OAL

The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property is requesting bids on courier delivery services for the Department of Human Services, Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and Office of Administrative Law under Bid Solicitation 26DPP01198 (T3102), with quotes due August 27, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. This is a Small Business Enterprise set-aside procurement — bidders registered as SBEs with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services receive a 15% pricing evaluation preference on monthly courier services pricing.

The scope comprises three separate groups: Group 1 delivers to 22 County Welfare Agency sites on a same-day basis; Group 2 serves three Office of Administrative Law locations (Newark, Atlantic City, and Hamilton) on a next-business-day basis; Group 3 serves the Department of Labor with deliveries from a central Trenton location on a next-business-day basis. Services include Monday-through-Friday scheduled daily routes, unscheduled same-day and next-day delivery options differentiated by distance (under or over 35 miles), and online tracking at no additional cost. All contractor personnel assigned to State facilities must pass criminal history background checks at contractor expense. Delivery is hand-to-hand inside spotted service; the contractor bears liability for loss or damage up to $100 unless greater value is declared, with a nine-month claims filing deadline. A 1% Procurement Efficiency Program fee applies quarterly to all invoiced purchases, payable to Periscope.

The solicitation contains 18 price lines organized into three groups; bidders must bid all price lines within a selected group to be considered responsive for that group. Pricing must be submitted as firm fixed monthly amounts for courier services and location charges, plus per-each pricing for unscheduled deliveries. The State intends to award one contract per group.

The contract term is three years with an option to extend up to three additional years in increments not exceeding one year at the same terms or rates more favorable to the State. Bidders must be registered with a valid Business Registration Certificate prior to award and comply with affirmative action requirements. Questions were due June 22, 2026. An optional pre-quote conference was held June 12, 2026 with seven firms attending; responses to submitted questions will appear in a subsequent amendment prior to bid opening.
