The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit qualified vendors for the responsible production of advertising, marketing, and promotional materials. The required deliverables include collateral, website graphics and design, presentations, photographs, graphic design, illustrations, filming, editing, equipment rentals, display materials, and brochures to meet TDA's as-needed performance requirements. The selected vendor(s) may be assigned individual projects or required to submit creative briefs throughout the year. The contract term is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025, with the possibility of three one-year renewal options. Proposals will be evaluated based on the respondent's past performance, qualifications and experience (30%), the proposed plan for providing services (40%), and the reasonableness of the proposed cost (30%). Respondents must submit a detailed cost proposal and adhere to requirements such as a HUB subcontracting plan, references, and conflict of interest disclosures.

The RFP covers services to be provided within the state of Texas, with the primary jurisdictions being Travis County and the city of Austin. The solicitation does not provide details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements and sources, or other salient commercial and financial information. However, the addenda indicate that TDA may award contracts to multiple vendors and that they have allocated between $844,000 and $1,010,000 annually for these services over the past three fiscal years. The current incumbent is not specified.
