Commission on POST History of Policing Video Production FY 24/25

The California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the production of 3-4 documentary-style videos related to the history of policing, and one promotional recruitment video for POST's Command College. The videos will be created for viewing by law enforcement personnel and the general public. The winning bidder must have prior experience developing videos with California state agencies and law enforcement, with at least 10 years of filmmaking experience and 3 years of experience with law enforcement. The contract term is from October 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. The IFB includes a detailed Statement of Work, Key Action Dates, and a Cost Worksheet that must be submitted by September 20, 2024. Bidders are required to complete several administrative documents, including a Bidder Declaration, Commercially Useful Function Evaluation Worksheet, and a GenAI Disclosure & Factsheet if their solution includes generative artificial intelligence.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible California Certified Small Business bidder, with applicable small business, TACPA, and DVBE incentives applied. The State has not disclosed the contract budget, but emphasizes that the award will go to the lowest responsible bidder. Bidders must have experience working with law enforcement, but not necessarily with an "official law enforcement agency." The State reserves the right to incorporate GenAI Special Provisions or reject bids that present an unacceptable level of risk from the use of generative artificial intelligence.
