Tab Envelopes for Motor Vehicle Registration - CCi Tag Plant

The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC), in collaboration with Colorado Correctional Industries (CCI), is seeking an offeror to supply 2,329,000 motor vehicle registration tab envelopes for statewide distribution. The procurement requires highly specific envelope specifications, including dimensions of 4 3/16" X 8", open side, side seam, 3/8" X 2" notch back, and a 1 1/8" pictorial flap with a slit located 2" from the left, printed on 24# white woven material. The solicitation requires delivery to the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility in Canon City, with restricted delivery times of Monday-Thursday between 7am-2pm. Proposal submissions are due by May 15, 2025, at 5:00 pm via bidnetdirect.com, with an estimated award date of May 17, 2025, and a desired Purchase Order start date of July 1, 2025. Evaluation criteria will primarily focus on pricing, with additional considerations including sample quality and delivery lead time. Successful respondents must provide a W-9, proof of good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State, and an insurance certificate prior to contract execution.

The procurement emphasizes supporting the CCI's mission of providing training and work experience for incarcerated individuals through their License Plate Plant and Vinyl Production shop. The state has a goal of awarding at least 3% of contracts by dollar value to Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with verified SDVOSB offerors receiving a 5% preference on their quote. Vendors needing assistance can contact the Colorado Supplier Diversity Navigator at the Statewide Equity Office of Supplier Diversity for support in responding to the solicitation. Pricing must remain firm during the initial term, with potential for an annual price increase of up to 2.5% subject to mutual agreement. All envelopes must be manufactured in the United States, and the state reserves the right to negotiate with respondents to clarify quotes and potentially make them more advantageous. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves the production of 2,329,000 envelopes with precise specifications for statewide motor vehicle registration use.
