Special Events Services

The City of Pittsburgh, through the Office of Management and Budget and Pittsburgh Parks and Recreation, is soliciting proposals under solicitation 2024-ITQ-373 for professional special events services. This is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) framework designed to pre-select qualified individuals and firms for various categories of City-sponsored event production. The contract allows for the issuance of individual work orders capped at 100,000 dollars each, with a maximum overall contract term of three years from the date of the first execution. Performance will take place within Pennsylvania, primarily at City-owned or managed facilities. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the City's procurement portal by March 5, 2027. Evaluation is based on a best-value trade-off methodology using a pass/fail scoring system across three equally weighted factors: firm qualifications and experience, team qualifications, and demonstrated good faith efforts toward the participation of Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWDBE), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSB), and LGBTQIA+-owned businesses. Selected vendors must adhere to professional industry standards of care and comply with the City of Pittsburgh Code of Ethics. The City retains full authority over inspection and acceptance of all work products.
