About this award

The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) awarded a $13,023 task order to Paydesk LIMITED, a London-based media services company, for journalistic talent supporting the Voice of America's South and Central Asia Division Uzbek Language Service. This contract was issued as a call order under Paydesk's existing single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with VOA, which carries a $250,000 ceiling and runs through August 31, 2027. The award was made on November 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2025, under firm fixed-price terms with no set-aside designation. The contract was subsequently terminated for convenience on March 25, 2025, with USAGM deobligating associated funds, though a complete contract closeout is pending.
