RFP 46945 Technical Production Services for Special Events

The Maryland State Department of General Services is requesting proposals for technical production services for special events under RFP 46945, with proposals due October 14, 2026.

The scope covers comprehensive technical production support—audio, video, lighting, staging, and related equipment rental and operation—for three events: Flagship's Finest Dinner, President's Weekend Friday dinner and induction ceremony, and Commencement Ceremonies at Reckord Armory. Services include setup, operation, and breakdown of technical systems. Pricing is quoted on a service-by-service or event-by-event basis according to the technical requirements and deliverables specified in the RFP.

The contract term will be established upon award, with potential renewal options available. The RFP establishes pricing through a provided spreadsheet template with line items corresponding to each event and a total price field for extended costs across all services.

The RFP may include provisions for small business set-asides or minority-owned business participation in accordance with Maryland procurement regulations. Funding is provided through the State of Maryland's general budget allocations designated for special events and official functions. Vendors should review all technical specifications, equipment requirements, and service-level expectations outlined in the complete RFP documents to ensure alignment with the state's operational needs and quality standards.
