An agency in Washington is seeking a vendor to deliver comprehensive live music programming services. The scope of work includes recruiting and soliciting applications from a diverse range of musicians, including both known and qualifying new artists. Vendors will be responsible for reviewing audio/visual submissions, selecting appropriate musicians, and ensuring all selected performers complete a formal application and musician agreement. A variety of music styles and genres are encouraged, although some instrument restrictions may apply.

Programming requirements mandate a minimum of four artists per day, with performances scheduled in two-hour segments, seven days a week. Selection of performance times will be based on peak traffic periods to maximize audience engagement. All musical content must be suitable for audiences of all ages and reflect a diversity of styles, adhering to established musician agreements and policies.

The selected contractor will work closely with the agency to develop effective tools and reporting methods for evaluating musician performance. Evaluation criteria will include artistic presentation, audience engagement, compliance with policies and procedures, punctuality, and hours worked. The contract will have a one-year duration.
