Athletics Creative Media Production (Intro Videos)

NC State University's Athletics Department has issued a Request for Proposals seeking qualified video production firms to provide creative media production services for varsity athletics. The primary objectives include creating stadium introduction videos and related videoboard content for the Varsity Football and Men's Basketball programs, with comprehensive services encompassing video production, visual effects, and editing. Deliverables must include complete creative development, production, and post-production for both introduction videos, along with all auxiliary content and travel-related expenses. The RFP was posted on March 11, 2026, with written questions due by 5:00 p.m. on March 25, 2026, and proposals due electronically through the Bonfire eProcurement platform (https://ncsu.bonfirehub.com/opportunities/225900) by 2:00 p.m. on April 10, 2026. Vendors must submit pricing through a BidTable in Excel format and a separate Technical Proposal as a PDF document, and the University reserves the right to request oral presentations from any or all offerors for clarification purposes. Required qualifications include demonstrated expertise in video production, visual effects, and editing services suitable for professional stadium environments.

The RFP documentation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types eligible to respond, nor does it identify incumbent vendors or current contractors. The comprehensive not-to-exceed project cost is $725,000, which must encompass all creative development, production, post-production, auxiliary content, and travel-related expenses for both introduction videos. Vendors are invited to provide optional pricing for out-of-scope services, including day rates for onsite production, additional post-production and editing, supplementary content pieces, social and digital adaptations, revision rounds, and hourly rates for personnel or services requested outside the defined scope of work, though submission of these rates does not guarantee authorization for additional services. All proposals are subject to the terms and conditions outlined in the RFP, and vendors must include a Certificate of Insurance with their submission.
