About this award
The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call to Paydesk LIMITED for journalistic talent to support the Voice of America's East Asia Division in Taipei. The contract, valued at approximately $250K with a firm fixed price structure, was awarded on August 19, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2025. This award was issued without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. Paydesk LIMITED, a London-based media services company, was selected to provide specialized journalistic and multimedia services through this task order placed under a larger single-award BPA ceiling valued at $250K running through August 31, 2027.
As of March 25, 2025, USAGM executed a termination for convenience action and is deobligating associated funds.
