DESCRIPTION

The organization seeks a vendor to provide public relations and strategic communications services under two distinct engagement models. For task order–based services, consultants may be engaged as needed to support strategic communications planning and execution, crisis communication support, media relations and outreach, public policy analysis and advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and campaign strategy throughout the contract term.

On-call fixed fee services require consultants to provide ongoing monthly support, which includes the development and maintenance of a comprehensive agency communications plan, creating messaging frameworks across platforms and audiences, crisis communication strategy and rapid response, and board communications support such as drafting talking points, updates, and speeches. Additional services include media relations—encompassing press releases and media monitoring—as well as social media content development and digital marketing efforts, which may incorporate work related to the agency's podcast studio.
