Title Paper

The state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of custom security printing on paper for Kansas Certificate of Title documents. The Kansas Department of Revenue (KDOR) is issuing the Request for Proposal (RFP) for an integrated bid response to provide the paper and printing services. The RFP outlines specific security features required for the paper, including a custom watermark, security thread, chemical sensitivity, and security fibers. The printing requirements include a document border, copy void pantograph, and prismatic color background. KDOR will print the vehicle and owner information and mail the Certificates of Title. The contract term is anticipated to run from the date of award through September 30, 2029, with KDOR placing one order per contract year for approximately 1 million Certificates of Title. The RFP provides detailed specifications for packaging, labeling, and delivery, as well as requirements for mill plant and printing plant security. Bidders must submit color proofs, press proofs, and a security features brochure, with payment terms of net 30 days.

The RFP allows for the consideration of technology advances that could provide more secure or cost-effective solutions during contract renewal discussions. Bidders may claim preferences such as the Disabled Veteran Owned Business or Certified Business categories, with supporting documentation required. However, the RFP does not provide any information on incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any award values or budget ranges.
