Specifications include, but are not limited to: The University of Florida (UF) is seeking proposals from a diverse range of vendors that offer entertainment services for Campus events. UF currently hosts a variety of weekly events on campus through departments and student organizations, utilizing vendors that offer a range of entertainment services (i.e., inflatables, novelty items, live performances, etc.). Attendance for these Campus events can range from 50 students to 4,000+ students. Because the scope of entertainment services and types of events range widely, qualified vendors are expected to review the Lot 1 and Lot 2 descriptions in Section 1.2 of this ITN document and identify in their proposal response the Lot that most accurately reflects the type(s) of entertainment service(s) your organization currently offers. UF intends to award this contract to a pool of qualified vendors for both Lot 1 and Lot 2 to ensure that a variety of services are available to Campus as needed. It will be at UF’s sole discretion to choose which vendor to use for each event. The lot 1 spend for the University of Florida in 2018 was approximately $150,000, and in 2019 was $163,000. 2020 was an unusual year, but the future spend is anticipated to increase.
