Montgomery County, Maryland is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive graphic arts services through Request for Proposals (RFP) #1192245, with proposals due by May 18, 2026. The Department of Solid Waste (DCS) requires design and creation of graphics and artwork for diverse applications including media advertisements, silk-screen images, publications, forms, invitations, website pages, promotional materials, and public education materials. Deliverables encompass small graphics for ongoing web page design and development, brochures, vehicle silk-screen graphics, apparel designs, and news advertisements. The selected contractor must demonstrate proficiency in graphic design and the ability to create materials suitable for reproduction across multiple county departments and platforms. Contractors are not required to possess website technology expertise, though familiarity with the county's existing web presence (including www.montgomerycountymd.gov/solidwaste, www.montgomerycountymd.gov/hazardouswaste, and www.montgomerycountymd.gov/gogreen) is beneficial. Contractors must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, ensuring all materials meet nondiscrimination requirements under Titles II and III.

This procurement is reserved exclusively for vendors registered in Montgomery County's Local Small Business Reserve Program (LSBRP), significantly limiting the competitive field to qualified local small businesses.
