About this award
The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order valued at $37,178 to Paydesk LIMITED for Ukrainian War Reporting services supporting the Voice of America's Eurasia Division. The contract was awarded on May 1, 2024, under a firm fixed-price structure with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2025. Performance will take place in Great Britain, United Kingdom, where Paydesk maintains its headquarters. This call order was issued without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. On March 25, 2025, USAGM executed a termination for convenience action and is currently deobligating associated funds; however, this action does not constitute a full contract closeout, with a complete closeout to be issued separately.
Paydesk LIMITED, a London-based media services company, specializes in providing freelance journalistic talent and multimedia services to international broadcasting organizations. This task order falls under Paydesk's broader single-award BPA with USAGM, which carries a ceiling value of $250,000 through August 31, 2027, and serves as an umbrella vehicle for procuring multimedia journalism support across VOA's various language divisions and regions. The company has consistently delivered war coverage, regional reporting, stringer services, and translation support to advance USAGM's mission of distributing news and information globally. This specific call order for Ukrainian War Reporting reflects the critical need for on-the-ground journalistic coverage during the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe.
