Description

The State of Tennessee seeks a contractor to produce an annual “Vacation Guide” (both print and digital) that is self‑funded through advertising revenue. The contractor must print 500,000 copies each year, maintain a 35 % advertising / 65 % editorial mix, provide original photography, host an ADA‑compliant digital guide, and manage all advertising sales (including two full‑time Tennessee‑based sales reps). Monthly revenue reports, quarterly analytics, and a comprehensive schedule are required, with the final printed guide due by December 15 each year. The contract runs for five years, with the contractor retaining all advertising revenue and remitting a state‑determined share each month.

Budget estimate

$2,500,000 – $10,000,000

Based on the prior contract’s average $300 k gross revenue to the State, the contractor’s advertising sales likely generate between $500 k and $2 M in gross revenue per year (assuming the State’s share is 15‑30 %). Over the five‑year term, total earnings could range from roughly $2.5 M to $10 M, depending on ad sell‑through, rate adjustments (capped at 5 % annually), and any reprint sales.
