Description

Murray State University is seeking a qualified photography firm to provide exclusive, no‑cost still‑photo services for its spring and fall commencement ceremonies. The vendor must supply all equipment, set up at least 90 minutes prior to each ceremony, photograph each graduate (minimum three images per graduate plus a flag shot), promote sales, deliver digital color proofs within seven days, and manage an online ordering and tracking system. The contract is a three‑year term with optional one‑year extensions and includes mandatory insurance coverage and Kentucky registration. • Capture at least three images per graduate plus additional group and dignitary shots. • Provide on‑site sales promotion, proof delivery within 7 days, and a web‑based ordering platform. • Must meet insurance (minimum $1 M per policy) and state‑registration requirements; Kentucky‑resident bidders receive preference. • Vendor may propose revenue‑sharing or per‑graduate fee structures; no fixed university payment disclosed.

Budget estimate

$30,000 – $150,000

The solicitation does not disclose a fixed payment to the vendor; compensation will be based on a commission or per‑graduate fee structure. Assuming an average graduating class of ~500 students per ceremony (≈1,000 graduates annually) and a typical photo package price of $30, a 70 % vendor share would generate roughly $21 000 in revenue per year. Adding optional services, larger format orders, and potential sales at the second ceremony could raise annual revenue to $30‑$50 k. Over the base three‑year term, the total earnings could range from $60 k to $150 k, depending on sales volume and any additional optional services.
