About this award
The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call order to Paydesk LIMITED, a London-based media services company, to provide journalistic talent supporting the Voice of America's East Asia Division in Taipei. The contract, issued on February 1, 2025, has a ceiling value of $57,529.50 under firm fixed-price terms with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. This task order was issued without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. The award is associated with a broader single-award BPA between VOA and Paydesk LIMITED, valued at $250,000 and running through August 31, 2027, which serves as the umbrella vehicle for USAGM to repeatedly procure multimedia journalism support services across various language divisions and regions.
On March 25, 2025, USAGM executed a termination for convenience action and is deobligating associated funds; however, this action does not constitute a full contract closeout. Paydesk LIMITED specializes in connecting international broadcasting organizations with a global network of freelance journalists, photographers, and videographers, and has supported VOA's mission to distribute news and information in over 40 languages to global audiences. The company's services under USAGM contracts include reporting, writing, video production, photography, interpretation, translation, and journalism training across regions including East Asia, Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
