The contract term is 5 years, with options to renew, beginning September 1, 2022 for TV Traffic Services and February 1, 2023 for TV Master Control Services.

This procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The successful vendor(s) must comply with all applicable laws, insurance requirements, and UCF COVID-19 policies. The ITB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The ITB does not specify a budget range, but the scope of services indicates a potentially significant contract value.
