The California Exposition & State Fair (Cal Expo) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Press and Community Outreach Management services for the 2024 California State Fair. The successful proposer will be responsible for coordinating community outreach, crisis management, media relations, and other marketing and communications tasks in support of the annual State Fair held at Cal Expo in Sacramento. The RFP outlines the Scope of Work, Minimum Qualifications, Required Skills, and Proposal Requirements, including deadlines for questions, proposal submission, and the award schedule. The term of the initial agreement is from January 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024, with options to extend for two additional one-year terms. Cal Expo will evaluate proposals based on the proposer's relevant experience, administrative capabilities, and cost proposal.

The RFP encourages Small Business (SB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) companies to propose. The RFP does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify an award value or budget range, but proposers must submit pricing information as part of their proposal.
