About this RFP
The Indian Health Service (IHS) Albuquerque Area Office is buying a professionally produced recruitment video for the Jicarilla Service Unit, which provides healthcare to the Jicarilla Apache Nation. The video should help the clinic hire staff by showing career paths, federal benefits, loan repayment, workplace culture, community impact and local quality of life. The job runs from pre-production through on-site interviews and B-roll to final delivery, and it must meet HIPAA privacy rules and Section 508 accessibility standards.
This is a resolicitation. It replaces RFQ 75H70726Q00076 because the quotes received under that request expired. Only Indian Small Business Economic Enterprises (ISBEEs) may bid, under the Buy Indian Act.
The award is a single firm-fixed-price purchase order, priced as one all-inclusive job that covers travel and taxes. Selection is best value. Technical capability, past performance and cultural awareness, taken together, count for more than price. Quotes are due by email.
