Description

The San Diego Unified School District is seeking a qualified vendor (or consortium) to provide comprehensive DJ/VDJ, photo‑booth, and catering services for after‑school events across all district schools. The work includes supplying all sound, lighting, video‑DJ equipment, staffing, party‑favor props, and full “all‑inclusive” catering (dessert bar, finger foods, and beverages) on a per‑hour or per‑student basis. Contracts will run for a one‑year base period with up to four optional one‑year renewals (maximum five years). Bidders may submit for any combination of the defined Lots (DJ packages, photo‑booth, and catering). All pricing must be fixed for the entire contract term and include every cost (equipment, labor, taxes, set‑up, tear‑down, etc.). • Provide DJ/VDJ services ranging from extra‑small (≤150 guests) to extra‑large (500‑750 guests) with all‑inclusive hourly rates. • Supply photo‑booth units (360°, stationary, or enclosed) with digital printing, social‑media sharing, and on‑site staffing. • Deliver catering on a per‑student basis covering dessert bars, finger foods, and a variety of drinks, with all set‑up/clean‑up included. • Maintain required background‑check clearances, drug‑free workplace certifications, and insurance coverage as specified. • Service all 226 SDUSD facilities district‑wide and, when needed, off‑site prom venues.

Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $20,000,000

No contract value is disclosed. Estimating based on 226 schools, an average of 10 events per school per year (≈2,260 events annually). Assuming an average all‑inclusive DJ/VDJ rate of $300 per event, photo‑booth $200 per event, and catering per‑student cost of $8 for an average of 100 students ($800 per event), total per‑event cost ≈ $1,300. Annual spend ≈ $2.9 million; over a possible five‑year term ≈ $14–18 million. Hence a realistic budget range for the contractor would be roughly $10 million to $20 million over the full contract life.
