About this award

On June 1, 2024, the Voice of America (VOA), a civilian agency under the U.S. government, awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order valued at $37,450 to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees for a new Turkish overseas stringer position. This is a firm fixed-price contract with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2025 and no set-aside designation, indicating open competitive bidding. The place of performance is listed as Lewisville, Texas, though the nature of the stringer role suggests the actual work will focus on overseas coverage in Turkey. Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees, identified through UEI LN9PU5M2YZN5, is a for-profit organization registered in the System for Award Management that provides comprehensive support services to U.S. federal government agencies, with particular expertise in international operations.

This call order supports VOA's global news gathering and reporting operations through the engagement of a foreign correspondent or stringer in Turkey. VOA, as the international broadcasting service of the United States, relies on such contracted personnel to expand its coverage of international events and provide diverse perspectives for its audiences worldwide. The contract deobligates certain funds while establishing this new position, reflecting typical budget management practices within federal broadcasting operations. The firm fixed-price structure provides cost certainty while the BPA vehicle allows for efficient procurement of specialized international staffing needs.
