Port Laredo, the biggest land port entry in the US, facilitating more than $200B in annual trade with Mexico, is looking for a firm to handle Texas, national and international communications and marketing services.
Located on the Rio Grande, Port Laredo consists of four vehicle bridges, a rail bridge and an airport.
It serves 15K to 18K trucks daily. Cars and auto parts account for more than half of the cargo.
Laredo is two hours from the manufacturing centers of Monterrey and San Antonio on Interstate 35.
Logistics and trade account for a third of the jobs in Laredo, which has a metro population of 267K.
Port Laredo wants a firm to handle messaging, content development, branding, media relations, social media work, special events and advertising.
The firm will assist Port Laredo “in developing and implementing new strategies for economic development and supply chain solutions,” according to the RFP.
The Port will award a one-year contract and retain the option to extend the work for an additional two one-year periods.
