Freelance Photographers

Clemson University is soliciting bids to establish a pool of freelance photographers who will be engaged on an as-needed basis to provide professional photography services for university events and activities. This opportunity is open to bidders who were not awarded under the original contract, with new suppliers added biannually in January and June through October 4, 2028, contingent upon meeting all solicitation requirements. The photographers are expected to deliver high-quality digital images according to assignment-specific instructions and deadlines, adhering to Clemson’s established standards and professional expectations. Offers must be submitted electronically as a single technical document (PDF or DOC) through the university’s online bidding system, excluding financial information unless expressly requested, with any additional unsolicited information included separately as an appendix. The contract is governed primarily by Clemson University's Standard Bidding Terms and Conditions (effective November 15, 2020) alongside South Carolina state laws and regulations. No federal acquisition regulation clauses or specific pricing schedules are incorporated. Ethical compliance certifications, including conflict of interest disclosures and responsibility certifications, are mandatory. The Procurement Officer, Kevin R Finan, serves as the sole contact for all procurement and contract administration matters. New suppliers are integrated only during specified biannual intake periods. Offers are evaluated for responsiveness, price reasonableness, and demonstrated capability, though explicit evaluation criteria or award methodologies are not detailed in the solicitation. No packaging, shipping, or physical delivery requirements apply, as the contract is service-based. The university reserves rights regarding contract modifications, addenda, and conflict of interest mitigation, and may engage in clarification discussions with apparent responsive bidders at its discretion. Payment, invoicing, and specific contract type details are not specified within the available documentation.
