Summary
The Iowa Department of Administrative Services is soliciting vendors to provide statewide courier services, including daily scheduled routes and on-call pickup/delivery across Iowa, with capabilities to handle confidential, legal, medical/bio-hazard, electronic, and heavy/oversized items. The procurement requires bidders to provide their own vehicles, include all transportation costs in proposals, provide real-time GPS tracking and proof-of-delivery, and meet strict performance metrics (e.g., ≥95% on-time for scheduled routes and ≥90% for on-call deliveries). The estimated contract is for one year (with options to extend), and interested contractors should review the solicitation documents on the State of Iowa bid portal for submission instructions.
