About this award
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a firm fixed price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call to The Media Network, Inc. (TMN) for publishing support services related to the Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program. The contract, valued at $758,095.50, was awarded on September 23, 2016, through the General Services Administration's Professional Services Schedule and was completed by September 22, 2020. The work was performed in Silver Spring, Maryland. No small business set-aside was applied to this contract action. The EAR Program, managed by FHWA, supports innovative research initiatives to explore high-risk, high-reward transportation concepts, and TMN's publishing support services likely contributed to disseminating research findings and program communications to stakeholders and the public.
This contract represented a task order call against an existing BPA vehicle, reflecting the government's use of established procurement mechanisms to obtain specialized publishing and communications support. The firm fixed price structure provided cost certainty for the government while the BPA framework allowed flexibility in task order issuance throughout the performance period. The contract's ultimate completion and de-obligation of funds in September 2020 indicates the work was successfully closed out within the anticipated timeline.
