About this opportunity

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is seeking qualified small business vendors to provide comprehensive communications services through a combined synopsis/solicitation under FAR Part 12 and Part 13. The contract encompasses strategic media support, message development, media content creation, social media engagement, crisis communications, and creative design services. Proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format to onwankwo@eac.gov and Contracts@eac.gov by May 9, 2025, at 1:00 PM ET, with all questions due by May 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET. The evaluation criteria will use a best-value approach with three primary factors: Technical Acceptability (50%, Pass/Fail), Past Performance (25%), and Price (25%). Technical evaluation will be binary, requiring proposals to meet all minimum technical requirements outlined in the Statement of Work, while past performance will be assessed based on similarity of previous work, quality of deliverables, and customer satisfaction.

The solicitation is specifically set aside for total small business participation and will be performed in Washington, DC 20001. The contract will run for one year, from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with specific deliverables including developing a media calendar, creating press releases, op-eds, fact sheets, stakeholder toolkits, and generating up to 30 hours per month of written content. The contractor will be required to produce social media copy with three shareable graphics and one infographic monthly, as well as design a 130-page annual report. Performance standards are stringent, with the contractor expected to maintain a 99-100% standard across quality of service, timeliness, cost control, business relations, and personnel management. While the specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of services and detailed requirements suggest a significant contract scope for a small business vendor in the public relations and communications sector.
