Thermal, Magnetic and Standard Paper Tickets Printing Service

A government authority located in Millbrae, California is seeking a vendor to provide thermal, magnetic, and standard paper tickets printing services. The agency needs to solve the ongoing operational requirement of producing and managing various ticket types, which are categorized into non-magnetic and magnetic formats. The scope of work allows for potential changes in ticket size, quantity, and design, as well as the introduction of new tickets or deletion of current ones during the contract period. The project covers several specific ticket types with detailed production requirements. The agency requires two-sided ticket sheets using standard perforation to produce ten tickets, utilizing a three-color process on the front and a one-color process on the back. These sheets must be printed on 100-pound semi-gloss stock, flat-sized at 8.5 by 11 inches, tri-folded, sequentially numbered, and ordered once per year in quantities of 4,000 regular and 3,000 lifeline tickets. Another ticket type requires a minimum 10-point semi-gloss white cover stock sized at 5 by 3.25 inches, ordered once per year in a 12-month set of 4,800 tickets with alpha-prefixed sequential numbering. The agency also requires 8,000 thermal paper tickets on 10-mil stock, encoded as one-ride stored-ride tickets with varying expiration dates, ordered once per contract term. All finished products must meet specific packaging standards, including loose banding, shrink-wrapping, and labeling where specified. Bidders must perform all work offsite and must be located onshore within the United States. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year to complete these services. While the agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals, it has set key procurement dates. The agency will host a pre-bid meeting on June 2, 2026, and bidders must submit all questions no later than June 3, 2026.
