Description

This contract was issued by St. Mary’s County Public Schools to procure elementary school photography and yearbook services. The solicitation was open until April 6 2010, and four photography firms were awarded the work, indicating a multi‑award approach to cover the district’s numerous elementary schools. The scope includes student portrait sessions, class photography, and the design, printing, and distribution of yearbooks for each elementary school. The contract likely operates on a yearly basis, with each vendor responsible for a subset of schools or specific services. • Multi‑award contract covering a full school district’s elementary photography and yearbook needs. • Four qualified vendors – Barksdale School Portraits, Blanton Studios, Classic Photography & Imaging, and Lifetouch National School Studios – received awards. • No specific contract term, pricing, or renewal details are provided in the source.

Contract value

$350,000

The contract awards four photography firms to service all elementary schools in St. Mary’s County. Assuming the district has roughly 30 elementary schools with an average enrollment of 300 students, a typical yearbook program costs about $20 per student ($6,000 per school), totaling roughly $180,000 for yearbooks alone. Adding portrait services (approximately $5‑$10 per student) could add another $150,000‑$300,000. Combining these estimates, a reasonable ball‑park for the entire multi‑award contract would be in the $300,000‑$400,000 range. Given the multiple vendors and the likelihood of dividing the workload, an estimate near $350,000 is a conservative midpoint.
