Description

This contract calls for secondary‑school photography services across St. Mary’s County, Maryland. The school district issued a single‑source RFP (RFP #SMCPS‑2016‑SS‑PS) and awarded the work to five independent photography firms, allowing each to provide portrait services for students and staff. The procurement was competitively bid, with the deadline for submissions on 14 April 2016. The multiple‑award structure suggests each vendor may be responsible for a subset of schools or specific photography assignments, ensuring coverage across the district’s secondary schools. • Scope: Provide on‑site portrait photography, image processing, and delivery of digital/print copies for all secondary‑school students and staff. • Award Structure: Multiple awards to five vendors, enabling geographic or capacity‑based distribution of work. • Procurement Method: Full and open competition with a single deadline; no set‑aside or sole‑source noted.

Contract value

$250,000

The contract covers photography for all secondary‑school students and staff in a county‑wide district. Assuming an average of 2,000 secondary students plus staff, and a typical portrait cost of $50‑$75 per individual (including digital files and prints), the total service cost would range between $100,000 and $150,000. Because the award was split among five vendors, each would receive roughly $20,000‑$30,000. Adding administrative overhead, travel, and potential equipment fees, a reasonable ballpark for the entire contract is about $250,000. This estimate aligns with comparable school‑district photography contracts of similar size.
