Videography Services

Opportunity Home San Antonio (formerly the Housing Authority of the City of San Antonio) is seeking independent contractors for videography services through a Quick Quote solicitation. The procurement targets qualified video production companies or advertising agencies specializing in high-quality film production to visually communicate the agency's mission and services. The primary project involves producing a documentary-style video documenting the reimagining of Alazan Courts, San Antonio's oldest public housing community, as a multi-year filming initiative. Specific scope of services includes video development with storyboarding, filming interviews and b-roll at agency properties, post-production editing with graphics and animations, and comprehensive video coordination. Required bid submissions must include personnel qualifications, three professional references, hourly and daily rate pricing for various production roles, and three video samples demonstrating company experience. The solicitation closes on January 9, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with responses submitted through the Bonfire E-Procurement portal. Evaluation will likely consider technical capabilities, portfolio quality, pricing structure, and demonstrated expertise in documentary and promotional video production.

The solicitation is limited to contracts of $100,000 or less per state law, with standard net 30-day payment terms following electronic invoicing. Bidders must hold pricing for a minimum of 90 days and demonstrate proof of applicable state and local business licenses. Specific insurance requirements include professional liability insurance of $1,000,000, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per accident/$2,000,000 aggregate, and business automobile liability of $500,000 combined single limit where applicable. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the procurement appears open to a wide range of video production professionals and agencies. Reimbursable expenses include pre-production coordination, planning meetings, text and graphic design, video production, drone and time-lapse footage, post-production editing, and local travel time. The contract structure suggests future assignments will be issued on an as-needed basis by the Communications and Public Affairs Department, with potential for ongoing work beyond the initial documentary project.
