Promotional video

The State of Alabama, specifically through the Governor's Office of Volunteer Services (GOVS), is seeking a professional video production vendor to create promotional content highlighting volunteer services. This contract opportunity, located in Mobile County, requires the production of one brand video and two brand series videos, each up to 5 minutes long and filmed in 1080p quality. The project involves comprehensive video production services, including pre-production planning, two days of filming in Montgomery and Birmingham (10 hours per day with up to 8 interviews), and three days of B-roll filming (5 hours per day). The selected vendor must provide a 4-person production crew with a 2-camera setup, including audio, drone, and lighting equipment, and be responsible for all post-production editing. GOVS has specified a preference for vendors with experience in AmeriCorps, national service, volunteer groups, and disaster response events. The project timeline indicates filming will begin around March 1, 2025, with completion expected by May 16, 2025, and the proposal is due by February 20, 2025.

While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, vendors must be registered in the Alabama Buys system and comply with state procurement requirements. Potential bidders must be registered with Alabama tax authorities and verify enrollment in the E-Verify program if employing workers in the state. The contract allows for two revisions per video within the initial editing rate, with additional hourly costs for extra revisions. Vendors must include all associated costs in their bid, including travel, per diem expenses, music licensing, and equipment rental. Though a specific budget range was not provided, the comprehensive nature of the production requirements suggests a substantial project scope. Foreign entities interested in bidding must first register with the Alabama Secretary of State. The procurement will be conducted through an electronic submission process on the Public Solicitation site, with the state reserving the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis.
