AI Contract Overview
The State of Iowa, through the Division of Administrative Services, is soliciting bids for statewide courier services under solicitation number DASIowa-005-RFB-2446-2026, with a response deadline of July 20, 2026. The contract is intended to secure a non-exclusive provider to deliver and pick up letters, reports, packages up to 80 pounds, totes, and other materials across Iowa, including frequent service to multiple state agency offices listed in Attachment 1. The service must include daily routes, on-call options, secure handling, and reliable return trips where needed, with the bidder responsible for providing all vehicles, staffing, storage, and related costs. Staffing must be sufficient to maintain uninterrupted service during absences, with strict adherence to security, confidentiality, quality control, and emergency continuity protocols. The contract term begins September 1, 2026, and ends August 31, 2027, with the State retaining the sole discretion to extend the contract for up to five additional annual terms under the same or more favorable conditions. All state agencies may utilize the resulting contract, and additional pickup or delivery locations may be added during the term if they align with the solicitation’s scope. Bidders must ensure their proposals include comprehensive pricing, customer service standards, package tracking, loss and liability policies, a designated primary account manager, and emergency contacts. The provider is expected to comply with all regulatory, sustainability, and environmental considerations, and to maintain high levels of communication and transparency with state agencies. Any bid must be submitted through the designated online portal, with bidders required to resubmit and recertify their proposal each time the bid is opened after initial submission or after an amendment is issued by the issuing officer. Amendments must be acknowledged and responded to by answering the posted questions and formally resubmitting, with all prior data retained. Bidders are advised to save progress regularly and are responsible for fully understanding all requirements, as the solicitation is not exhaustive and does not relieve bidders of their obligation to submit a complete and competitive bid. Questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to Paul Manges at paul.manges@das.iowa.gov.
