MEDIA MONITORING SERVICES

The Kentucky Legislative Research Commission (LRC) is seeking proposals for media monitoring services to provide real-time tracking and analytics of local, state, and national media content, including television, radio, print, podcasts, online news, comments, forums, and social media. The selected contractor must have a minimum of 3 years' experience as a professional media monitoring firm and provide examples of services rendered to comparable government agencies. Key requirements include providing multiple user dashboards that can be segregated for up to 25 users across 5 separate LRC offices, with the ability to customize monitoring by topic, keyword, and source. The contractor must also provide functions to download and archive broadcast clips, as well as a comprehensive suite of live client support services. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM EST on January 4, 2023, and the initial contract term is from February 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, with options to renew. Pricing information is not to be disclosed during the active solicitation, but will be evaluated based on the cost proposals received.

The procurement is open to all qualified vendors, and no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are mentioned. The RFP does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and does not provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP also does not specify a budget range or award value, though the LRC reserves the right to negotiate a fair and reasonable compensation rate with the highest-ranked offeror.
