The contractor must provide full‑service event support—including creative design, staging, audio‑visual production, virtual webcast platforms (Zoom up to 3,000 attendees), post‑event video editing and captioning, and coordination with on‑site venues such as the College Park Marriott—primarily for events held in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and virtually. Services are required on an as‑needed basis for a variety of UMGC events (town halls, homecoming, awards ceremonies, Veterans Day, graduation walk, leadership summits, etc.). An MBE participation goal of at least 2 % of contract value is required, and all vendors must be registered in Bid Locker and submit separate technical and price proposals. Payment is on net‑30 terms via EFT, with insurance and living‑wage compliance requirements. • Scope covers creative direction, décor, staging, AV equipment, livestream/webcast, video production, and rapid post‑event deliverables (48‑hour turnaround). • Contract term: 1 Nov 2025 – 31 Oct 2026, with one optional renewal. • Awarded to Mills James, Inc. and Precon Events LLC; no vendor contact details were disclosed.

RFP 92212

Contract value

$750,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract ceiling. However, the scope includes multiple large‑scale hybrid events (e.g., a 30,000‑attendee graduation walk, several 1,000‑attendee town halls, and numerous smaller events) plus full AV, staging, crew, and post‑production services. Assuming an average hourly rate of $150 for senior production staff, $80 for technicians, and $50 for support personnel, and estimating roughly 2,500 total billable hours per year (≈ 500 hrs for major events + 2,000 hrs for smaller events), labor costs would be around $300,000. Adding equipment rental, licensing (Zoom up to 3,000 seats), travel, and overhead could contribute another $200,000–$300,000. Factoring a modest profit margin and the 2 % MBE subcontracting requirement, a reasonable ball‑park total contract value is between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Selecting a midpoint yields an estimated value of roughly $750,000.
