The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) are seeking a Graphic Design and/or Marketing Specialist for their Education Department through a Request for Quote (RFQ) issued for Coos County, Oregon. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive set of branded graphic design templates using Canva, which will include customizable and editable materials for various events and programs. Specific deliverables encompass seasonal branding elements, print flyers, social media graphics, postcards, posters, email banners, camp welcome packets, event agendas, and graduate certificates. Proposals must be submitted electronically to Norbert A. Johnson, Procurement Manager, by August 5th at noon PST, with an anticipated award announcement on or before August 8th, 2025. Evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess technical compliance, innovation, vendor experience, qualifications, cost-effectiveness, project timeline, and support offerings. Interested vendors are required to submit detailed proposals including a company profile, implementation plan, technology description, bill of materials, labor cost breakdown, and proof of licensing and insurance. Vendors may submit questions via email until July 29th, 2025, with responses to be posted on the Oregon Buys website.

The RFQ does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is disclosed within the provided materials. The procurement appears open to qualified graphic design and marketing firms capable of meeting the technical specifications and deliverable requirements. The tribe reserves the right to accept or reject any quotation, with the understanding that the lowest bid will not automatically be selected. The successful vendor will be expected to collaborate through quarterly or semi-annual meetings and complete all deliverables before the end of the calendar year. While no specific technology integration requirements are outlined, the project mandates proficiency with Canva as the primary design platform. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive design capabilities across multiple digital and print mediums specific to educational program branding and communication materials.
