24-71016-000 IFB for Video Production Services Add 3

The California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a contractor to produce six short, easy-to-understand videos that explain the Sexually Violent Predator-Conditional Release Program (SVP-CONREP) and its key components. The videos will use a hybrid approach of animation, static images, and text, and must meet specific requirements for length, content, and accessibility. Bidders must provide proof of legal right to do business in California, three customer references, and agree to sign the Standard Agreement. The contract term is anticipated to be from November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2025, with the bid submission deadline on October 15, 2024. DSH will hold a conference to discuss the creative process, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The IFB includes provisions related to subcontracts, publications, reports, confidentiality, and intellectual property rights.

The IFB is open to all qualified bidders, and DSH will apply any applicable small business or disabled veteran business enterprise preferences. The IFB does not specify the incumbent vendor, contract value, or current budget for this work. DSH notes that it cannot guarantee the actual funds that will be expended under the agreement, and reserves the right to limit or restrict equipment brought onto state hospital grounds, as well as audit the contractor's records and terminate the agreement for non-compliance.
