District-Wide Creative Services, Custom Apparel Production, Event Planning, and Entertainment

The United Independent School District (UISD) is issuing a continuous Request for Proposal (RFPC 2026‑023) to establish a pre‑qualified pool of vendors for a broad suite of creative and event‑related services. The contract is a three‑year, performance‑based agreement (Sept 17 2026 – Aug 31 2029) that allows the district to issue purchase orders as needs arise. Vendors may submit proposals at any time; however, board approval occurs quarterly, with specific submission deadlines (Sept 1, Nov 1, Feb 1, May 1). Services include custom apparel design and production, event décor, balloon art, furniture rentals, DJ/MC/interactive entertainment, videography, lighting, special‑effects lighting, photography (year‑book, senior portraits, event coverage), and venue rental with associated A/V and catering capabilities. Vendors must provide qualifications, references, insurance, and be prepared for background checks where student interaction occurs. Pricing must be firm for the contract term, and all travel or lodging costs must be included in the quoted rates.
