The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded a $19.5 million Blanket Purchase Agreement call to Panum Telecom, LLC for nutrition, communication, research, and IT/web support services through the Professional Services Schedule. This contract, issued on September 26, 2018, with an ultimate completion date of January 3, 2025, supports the Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) and related Food and Nutrition Service initiatives. Panum Telecom, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and Subcontinent Asian American-owned firm based in Bethesda, Maryland, leveraged this vehicle to deliver comprehensive mission support across multiple functional areas. No set-aside designation was applied to this contract award.
The engagement included a subcontract awarded to Urban Emu, LLC in November 2018 for the development of native Apple iOS and Android mobile and watch applications for CNPP, demonstrating the contract's focus on modernizing digital platforms and enhancing user engagement with federal nutrition guidance resources. Urban Emu brought specialized expertise in digital marketing, web development, and communication services, with prior experience delivering large-scale nutrition promotion initiatives for the Food and Nutrition Service. This integrated approach—combining Panum Telecom's broad technology and program management capabilities with Urban Emu's digital product development specialization—positioned the contract to support USDA's nutrition policy communication and research objectives through contemporary digital channels.
