Denver International Airport (DEN) is seeking up to two on-call Creative Professional Services and Staff Augmentation Companies through a Request for Proposal (RFP) to support the Global Communications and Marketing (GCM) team. The procurement will provide specialized creative personnel for various initiatives including graphic design, brand support, copywriting, technical writing, event support, photography, and related creative services. Proposals are due on May 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM Denver local time, with an optional pre-proposal conference scheduled for April 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The contract will have an initial three-year term with potential two one-year extensions based on performance and business needs. Evaluation criteria will include cost-effectiveness, equity and diversity plans, project understanding, work plan, key personnel qualifications, and overall company experience. The selected vendors will be responsible for evaluating, hiring, managing, and ensuring contingent workers possess necessary skills for specific assigned projects across digital and print marketing platforms. The City and County of Denver emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in this procurement, actively encouraging participation from historically underutilized businesses. Proposers must submit a comprehensive EDI plan demonstrating commitment to diversity in workforce and subcontractor selection. Contractors will be limited to a 30% markup on rates paid to hired professionals, with billing occurring monthly and potential annual rate adjustments based on the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood Consumer Price Index. The contract will be funded through the Airport System Fund, though the maximum contract amount is not explicitly specified in the available documents. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement seeks flexible staffing solutions that can provide professionals across roles such as Project Manager, Marketing Coordinator, Copywriter, Graphic Designer, Videographer, Photographer, Front-End Developer, and Content Creator. The contract appears designed to provide DEN with adaptable creative and technical staffing resources to support ongoing marketing and communication initiatives.
