About this file
This is a Request for Clarification document issued by the State of Arizona's Department of Administration, State Procurement Office, to Pinnacle Public Affairs, LLC regarding solicitation BPM006852 for lobbyist services for the Secretary of State. The solicitation seeks professional intergovernmental state legislative lobbying services as an "Authorized Public Lobbyist" pursuant to A.R.S. 41-1231(2) for the 2026 Arizona State Legislative Session. The clarification request was issued on August 21, 2025, and responses are required by August 25, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. Arizona Time via email to Shawnesy.summers@azdoa.gov. The original proposal submission deadline was July 16, 2025, with the solicitation posted on May 23, 2025.
The clarification request does not constitute a determination of susceptibility for award but rather seeks to provide greater understanding of the respondent's offer. The two questions posed to Pinnacle Public Affairs focus on the firm's capacity to leverage its principals' professional and personal political capital to support the Secretary of State's policy goals and whether the firm commits to prioritizing those policy goals when engaging high-level contacts in state government and the business community. The solicitation appears to be open competition with no specific budget range, incumbent vendor information, set-asides, or disadvantaged enterprise requirements disclosed in the available documentation.
