Instant Ticket Printing and Related Services

The purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP) is to solicit proposals from qualified firms or vendors (Vendor or Vendors) interested in printing instant tickets and providing related services for the Iowa Lottery Authority (Lottery), pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code, Chapter 99G. The Lottery does not intend to grant any Vendor exclusive rights to print all or a majority of Lottery instant games. It is the intention of the Lottery to award game orders to more than one Vendor, each of whom will be issued orders to produce games based upon the Lottery’s determination of which Vendor can best serve the Lottery’s interests for a particular game. The award of a contract does not guarantee the lottery will print any tickets with that vendor.

The Successful Vendor(s) will be expected to enter into a written agreement (the “Contract”) with the Lottery following the Iowa Lottery Board’s authorization to the Lottery to issue a notice of intent to award and enter into a contract consistent with the terms of the RFP, contingent upon successful completion of a DCI background check. The Contract issued will be for a two-year period beginning January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020 plus four (4) additional one-year option periods with the option periods being exercised at the sole discretion of the Lottery.

During the course of this contract and extension periods, the Lottery gaming system contract will expire. As such, the resulting new gaming system contract may result in changes necessary to various aspects of this
