NIGP 91582: Video Production

NIGP 91582 Video Production, an Item code, encompasses the production of broadcast-quality and web-ready video content for state and local government communications, marketing, education, safety, and event support. State and local governments procure video production on an as-needed, on-call, or project-specific basis across school districts, universities, county and city departments, transit authorities, and regional commissions. Recent solicitations show a mix of single-vendor standing agreements (Austin ISD, Brazosport College) and one-time event productions (San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, ParkFest outdoor movies). Services typically include concept development, scripting, directing, editing, color correction, closed captioning, animation, graphics design, and delivery in multiple formats and aspect ratios. Scope ranges from routine department communications and public service announcements to large-scale conference productions with simultaneous multi-room live streaming and integration with existing content management platforms. Many recent solicitations require vendors to deliver educational or safety-focused content with accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 Level AA, multilingual subtitles, audio descriptions) and produce videos as work made for hire owned exclusively by the issuing body.

Recent activity spans Texas (Austin ISD, Lamar State College Orange, University of Houston, Georgia State University, Brazosport College, UTHSA, Harris County), Florida (City of Gainesville, Orange County Transportation Authority, Valencia College), Georgia (Georgia Southern University, DeKalb County Schools, Atlanta Regional Commission, Georgia World Congress Center), Illinois (Illinois Department of Agriculture contract extension), California (City of Milpitas), and other jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include Austin ISD's standing RFP 27RFP021 (due August 4, 2026) for fine arts instruction and specialized production services with a five-year term through June 2031; City of Peoria RFP for ParkFest outdoor movie event management (due July 30, 2026); Lamar State College Orange's advertising and media RFP 787-LSCO-052626 (due July 31, 2026, $1 million ceiling with hourly rate and project-based compensation) requiring VetHUB subcontracting participation; University of Houston Athletics RFP 730-UofH-3127 (due July 17, 2026, under $1 million over five years); City of Milpitas RFP 26-155 for on-call communications and marketing support including video production (due July 28, 2026, five-year term beginning October 1, 2026); and Harris County's ODonnell Consent Decree Educational Video Services RFP 260007 (due February 23, 2026) for five multilingual educational videos on misdemeanor court procedures. Set-asides and preferences appear in several solicitations, including HUB subcontracting goals (Texas Education Agency, Lamar State College Orange, Texas State University System, UTHSA) and general encouragement of M/WBE participation; most procurements remain open to all qualified vendors.
