RFP - FM27-01 - Refresh of Saltwater Angler's Guide

The Marine Resources Commission of Virginia is soliciting proposals under RFP FM27-01 to update, redesign, and reorganize the Saltwater Angler's Guide for both print and online publication. Because original source files are unavailable, the selected contractor must rebuild the layout, structure, and artwork from existing PDFs or create new artwork. Key deliverables include a comprehensive content audit to identify outdated information, the delivery of two printed example copies for review, and a final print-ready PDF due by January 15, 2027. The final product must be accessible, visually cohesive, and utilize agency-provided .kml files, the VMRC interactive map, and NOAA charts for updated mapping. This solicitation is set aside for award priority to DSBSD-certified micro businesses or small businesses. The agency will select the best proposal based on qualifications and suitability, with a preference for micro businesses if the price is $10,000 or less, or small businesses if the price is up to $100,000. Proposals are due by November 13, 2026, and should be submitted via the eVA system or delivered to the commission in Fort Monroe, Virginia. Required documentation includes a contractor data sheet, a small business subcontracting plan, a State Corporation Commission form, and a sample of similar work. Payment terms are standard at 30 days following invoice or delivery.
