The City of Mesa issued a requirements (as‑needed) solicitation for the design, production, and supply of custom‑printed T‑shirts, artwork, and graphics. After a competitive process, four Mesa‑based vendors were awarded the contract, which has a base term of three years and a total annual budget of $45,000 (shared among the vendors). The contract is structured as a multi‑vendor IDIQ, allowing the City to issue individual orders as needs arise, with each order priced on a unit‑price basis. Key elements include:
• Scope covers graphic design, silkscreen/printing, and delivery of adult‑size shirts (youth shirts are an exception).
• Vendors must maintain a physical storefront within 10 mi of Mesa’s central office and meet insurance, licensing, and financial‑capacity requirements.
• The City may issue orders up to roughly 20,000 shirts per year, with a 3‑week production turnaround after artwork approval.
• The contract includes a one‑year warranty on materials/workmanship and allows the City to terminate for convenience with 30‑day notice.
