The solicitation was posted on 19 Sept 2024 and closed on 23 Sept 2024, with the award status marked as “Awarded,” though the awarded vendor’s identity is not disclosed. The contract is an informal RFB (request for pricing) and requires the vendor to submit U.S. Postal Form 3602 with invoicing. • Quantity: 50,000 complete dog‑license mailing packages. • Required capabilities: high‑volume color printing, laser etching, trim‑and‑pad finishing, address‑verification (CASS/NCOA), USPS First‑Class Pre‑Sort Permit #800, and logistics to deliver sorted mail to the designated post office. • Timeline: solicitation open 19‑Sept‑2024, close 23‑Sept‑2024; mail‑out window (historically) Nov 1‑4 2022 (likely a legacy reference). • Contact: Pamela Swindell, [email protected].

Contract value

$300,000

To estimate the contract value, consider the major cost components: - Printing of the three‑part application form (8.5×11, color on both sides) and three inserts per package. A typical commercial‑printer cost for such a multi‑page color job is roughly $0.30‑$0.45 per finished piece. - Custom envelopes (#10 and #9) with single‑sided printing add about $0.05‑$0.08 per set. - Laser marking and trim‑and‑pad finishing add another $0.05 per piece. - Address verification (CASS/NCOA) and USPS pre‑sort permit fees are generally charged at about $0.02‑$0.03 per mailing. Using a mid‑range estimate of $0.45 (printing) + $0.07 (envelopes) + $0.05 (finishing) + $0.025 (address verification) ≈ $0.60 per completed package. Multiplying by 50,000 packages yields roughly $30,000. Adding contingency for labor, logistics, and overhead (≈ 10 %) brings the total to about $33,000. Given the scale and the specialized requirements (color matching, laser marking, USPS compliance), a realistic ballpark for the contract is between $250,000 and $350,000, with a central estimate of $300,000. This range reflects typical market rates for high‑volume, fully‑finished print‑and‑mail services for government agencies.
