About this opportunity
The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC), a division of the Department of Revenue, is issuing Request for Proposals (RFP 2026-0400-0285) to procure comprehensive communications support services. The procuring agency seeks a strategic communications partner capable of developing and executing integrated communications programs encompassing strategic communications planning, public affairs, stakeholder engagement, brand development, publication production, digital content management, media relations, crisis communications, and event support. Key deliverables include production of the FY2026 Annual Report—a statutorily mandated 50-70 page publication celebrating the Fund's 50th anniversary with a due date of September 16, 2026—along with ongoing communications services across multiple channels and audiences. Qualified offerors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of prior experience in communications support services and evidence of two comparable engagements within the past five years, or their proposals will be rejected as non-responsive. The RFP requires hourly rates for nine distinct position categories (Account Executive, Account Coordinator, Project Manager, Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Copywriter/Content Writer, Copy Editor, Photography, and Web Development) plus flat monthly rates for Social Media and Digital Content Management, Media Monitoring and Weekly Reporting, and Web Maintenance. Evaluation will be based on technical components weighted at 700 points, cost proposal evaluation at a minimum of 200 points, and Alaska Offeror Preference accounting for up to 100 points of the total 1,000 available points. A pre-proposal teleconference is scheduled for 10:00 AM Alaska Time on April 20, 2026, with proposals due no later than 2:00 PM prevailing Alaska Standard Time on May 5, 2026, submitted electronically to procurement@apfc.org; contract award is anticipated on June 1, 2026, with an initial contract term of approximately two years through May 31, 2028, and two additional two-year renewal options available at APFC's discretion.
Set-aside considerations include eligibility for Alaska Bidder Preference and Alaska Veteran Preference, both of which require offerors to hold a valid Alaska business license prior to the proposal deadline and satisfy specific statutory requirements regarding in-state presence and residency. The RFP does not specify incumbent vendors or existing contractors that require continuity. All work must be performed in the United States, and contract execution is contingent upon legislative appropriation and approval by the Commissioner of the Department of Revenue. APFC has established an estimated budget of $500,000 for the first two-year term, and proposals exceeding this amount will be deemed non-responsive; price increases during optional renewal periods are capped at three percent annually. Payment will be made within 30 days of receipt of proper invoicing and approval by the project director. Vendors are responsible for confirming receipt of their proposals, and late submissions will not be considered.
