The frequency is dependent on projects. Shoots may include requirements for photography, videography or a combination thereof. Suppliers are expected to own the majority of the equipment required to complete an assignment. In circumstances where a specific treatment is required, FCC will compensate for specialized equipment rental.  Overall, assignments will be on-site either on farms, agricultural operations or at food processing facilities. Suppliers need to be comfortable in these environments and respect that many of the operations are family-run and we are accessing private property. Food and animal security regulations must be followed at all times.  FCC is releasing this RFP to identify a Pre-Qualified (PQ) List of providers for commercial photography, video services and b-roll/stock images/footage. The objective of the PQ List will be to:
