MPA 214 Photographer Services

The State of Rhode Island is establishing a Master Price Agreement for qualified vendors to provide professional photographer services under solicitation OEV27006928. Multiple awards may be made, with specific vendor selection for individual assignments based on the provider's area of expertise, rates, and availability. Qualified vendors must demonstrate at least three years of experience and provide a portfolio of ten sample photos, a website link, and a detailed schedule of availability. The state requires unlimited use of all deliverables across various web and online platforms for all state agencies and maintains strict restrictions on the use of AI and unauthorized subcontracting. Applicants must complete a comprehensive assessment and provide specific business information and expertise categories. A critical component of the contract is the commitment to diversity and inclusion, requiring prime contractors to ensure a minimum of 15 percent participation from certified Minority, Woman, or Veteran-Owned Business Enterprises. This includes submitting executed subcontractor agreements and monthly payment verification reports to the MBE Compliance Office. Failure to adhere to these participation requirements or notify the state of changes in subcontractors may result in sanctions under Rhode Island General Laws.
