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.
