Retransfer or Lamination‑Capable ID Card Printer and Supplies

The Office of the Governor in Hawaii is soliciting bids for one ID card printer capable of producing durable, fade-resistant cards. The printer must be either a retransfer printer or a direct-to-card printer with integrated lamination, equipped with dual-sided printing capability. The procurement also includes initial consumables such as film and ribbon, and optionally, a lamination module if it is not built-in. Shipping to Honolulu, Hawaii, along with a standard manufacturer warranty, is part of the package. The solicitation is performance-based and does not specify any brand or manufacturer, allowing vendors to propose any model that meets the stated minimum requirements. Submissions are due by June 19, 2026, and the award will be granted to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor. The Office does not require capabilities such as NFC, magnetic stripe, or smart card encoding. Vendor questions or communications can be directed to the primary contact, Cuyler Otsuka, via phone or email, with Lori Abe as the secondary contact. This procurement aims to equip the Governor’s office with a reliable, high-quality ID card printing system suitable for their needs in Oahu, Hawaii.
