OVC Video Project to Help Persons with Disabilities Recognize, Report and Respond to Abuse

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Bureau of Preventive Health Programs (BPHP) is seeking a video production company to develop a video series on recognizing, reporting, and responding to the abuse of persons with disabilities. The project requires prior experience working with individuals with disabilities. The selected vendor will collaborate with the Building Partnerships for the Protection of Persons with Disabilities Initiative's Planning and Implementation Committee and a Workgroup to create the video content and design. The video series is expected to be completed between March 2008 and September 2008, and the contract term is from March 1, 2008 through February 28, 2009 with a two-year renewal option. The maximum funding obligation for this project is $65,200.

The procurement will be an open and competitive process evaluated based on criteria such as the applicant's production experience, organizational capacity, ability to meet the DPPC's service needs, budget, references, and Supplier Diversity Office (SOMWBA) certification. SOMWBA certification is preferred but not required. The Commonwealth does not provide any information about set-asides, incumbents, or the current technology environment. The procurement documentation indicates this will be a contract for services, but does not specify pricing terms or funding sources.
