In Play: Idaho Department of Commerce

The Idaho Department of Commerce is currently soliciting responses for two RFPs — one for Marketing Services and another for Public Relations.

Both are two year contracts, with the option to renew and extend up to a total of six years.

The Public Relations RFP response is due by October 1st, and the Marketing Services RFP is due by October 7th.

The Idaho Department of Commerce has set up a site to provide background information to potential bidders here: https://commerce.idaho.gov/rfp/

Also, a notable “unique consideration” found in the Marketing Services RFP:

The Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) and the Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) anticipate using this resulting contract. Anticipated annual usage by both agencies is approximately four (4) combined projects, governed by Project Service Orders (PSOs). These projects are generally education and awareness campaigns intended to be proactive about issues, promote new service offerings, and inform scheduled maintenance that will affect visitors, etc.

Good luck to those participating.
