Description

Indiana University is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive pyrotechnics and special‑effects services for its athletic events across multiple campus venues. The contractor will be responsible for the full life‑cycle of each effect—including planning, permitting, staffing, equipment procurement, installation, operation, teardown, and coordination with university safety and police officials—covering both indoor and outdoor sports such as football, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, and soccer. The work is expected to be performed on a per‑game “Not‑to‑Exceed” pricing basis, with detailed cost breakdowns required for each effect type, labor, safety compliance, and travel. The solicitation mandates attendance at a mandatory site‑visit on May 20, 2026, and all proposals must be submitted by June 8, 2026.

Budget estimate

$300,000 – $1,000,000

The RFP requires a “Not‑to‑Exceed” price per standard home football game, but no dollar figures are disclosed. Based on comparable collegiate pyrotechnic contracts, a single football game with extensive pre‑game, in‑game, halftime, and post‑game effects typically ranges from $50,000 to $150,000. Assuming 6–8 home games per season plus additional basketball, volleyball, wrestling, and soccer events, the annual contract could reasonably fall between $300,000 and $1,000,000. The estimate accounts for effect consumables, labor, safety compliance, travel, and insurance costs, with variability driven by the number of optional effects and the frequency of events.
