Tips for Winning Marketing & Communications Contracts in New York

  • ✓Federal advertising and marketing contracts are often awarded through GSA Schedule 541 (Advertising and Integrated Marketing Solutions). Getting on this schedule is the fastest path to federal creative work.
  • ✓Government creative work requires strict Section 508 accessibility compliance for all digital deliverables. Demonstrating accessibility expertise in your proposals is a competitive advantage.
  • ✓Many agencies require plain language (Plain Writing Act of 2010) for all public-facing communications. Proposals should demonstrate experience with clear, accessible writing for diverse audiences.

Marketing & Communications RFP FAQ

How do government agencies procure advertising and marketing services?

Federal agencies use GSA Schedule 541 (Advertising and Integrated Marketing Solutions), agency-specific IDIQ contracts, or standalone RFPs. State and local governments typically issue RFPs for advertising agencies of record (AOR), creative services, or campaign-specific work. DOD military recruiting advertising is one of the largest single government advertising programs.

What compliance requirements apply to government creative work?

All digital deliverables must meet Section 508 accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA). Content must comply with the Plain Writing Act of 2010. Federal advertising must include proper disclaimers and cannot be used for propaganda (the anti-propaganda provisions). Media buying must follow competitive purchasing rules.

Are there small business set-asides for marketing contracts?

Yes. SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB set-asides all apply to marketing and communications contracts. Many large agencies maintain small business subcontracting plans. State and local governments often have their own MBE/WBE goals for creative services work.

What past performance is valued in government marketing proposals?

Agencies value experience with public health campaigns, behavior change communication, multicultural/multilingual outreach, digital media campaigns with measurable ROI, and crisis communications. Demonstrated experience with government brand guidelines, clearance processes, and stakeholder review cycles is also highly valued.
