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 the PAYDESK (HAUSA) project with a ceiling value of $165,040. This firm fixed-price contract, awarded on September 1, 2024, represents a task order under Paydesk's larger single-award BPA vehicle (valued at $250,000 through August 31, 2027) that enables VOA to procure multimedia journalism support services across various language divisions and regions. The contract is being performed in Great Britain, United Kingdom, where Paydesk, a London-based media services company, maintains its operations. No set-aside designation was used in this competitive award.
On March 25, 2025, USAGM executed a termination for convenience action and is now deobligating associated funds. The agency has indicated that this action does not constitute a full contract closeout, with a complete closeout to be issued separately. This specific task order supported VOA's Hausa language service, part of the agency's broader mission to distribute news and information in over 40 languages to global audiences. Paydesk's services under this and related contracts have included journalist talent procurement, reporting, video production, photography, translation, and specialized payment processing for international stringers and freelancers covering regions across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
