About this opportunity
The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) is pursuing a sole source procurement for Title Paper through RR Donnelley & Sons, with a proposal due date of April 18, 2025. This procurement specifically covers vehicle title documentation with unique security features, including the MicorSecur security certificate border that encompasses microprint latent images and an asymmetrical pattern designed to prevent unauthorized reproduction. RR Donnelley is being identified as the exclusive vendor authorized by the Colorado Department of Revenue for these specialized title documents, with intellectual property rights that establish their singular capability to provide these security-enhanced papers. The procurement opportunity is open for potential competitors or interested parties to submit comments or objections through bidnetdirect.com//cdoc regarding the sole source determination. The contract applies to Garfield County and the broader state of Colorado, with the initial posting occurring on April 15, 2025.
While the procurement appears to be a sole source opportunity, which typically limits competitive bidding, the CDOC has created a mechanism for potential challenges to RR Donnelley's exclusive status. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly noted in the documentation. The contract appears focused on a specific technical product with specialized security features, suggesting that the potential vendor pool is extremely limited. RR Donnelley is positioned as the incumbent and presumptive sole provider, with proprietary technology that includes complex security elements like asymmetrical patterns and microprint imaging. Although no specific contract value is provided, the procurement suggests a continuing, potentially significant ongoing requirement for secure title documentation across Colorado government agencies. The sole source approach indicates that RR Donnelley has developed a uniquely qualified product that meets stringent government security specifications.
