About this award

The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), through the Voice of America (VOA), awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order to Paydesk LIMITED for multimedia journalism services supporting VOA's Africa Service Bambara Service. This firm fixed-price contract, valued at $100,846.50, was awarded on August 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. The contract was issued without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. Paydesk LIMITED, a London-based media services company specializing in global journalistic talent and multimedia support, was selected to deliver journalism-related services to support VOA's mission of distributing news and information across multiple language services and regions.

On March 25, 2025, USAGM executed a termination for convenience action and is currently deobligating funds associated with this contract. The agency notes that this action does not constitute a full contract closeout, with a complete closeout to be issued separately. This call order was issued under Paydesk LIMITED's existing single-award BPA with VOA, which carries a $250,000 ceiling and extends through August 31, 2027. The broader BPA serves as an umbrella vehicle enabling USAGM to repeatedly procure multimedia journalism support services across various language divisions and regions, supporting VOA's international broadcasting operations.
