About this award
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of the Administrator awarded a firm fixed-price definitive contract to Cision US Inc., a Chicago-based media intelligence and public relations software provider, on November 1, 2021. The contract, valued at $3.12 million with a completion date of November 30, 2025, provides comprehensive media services to EPA headquarters and its 10 regional offices. These services include press release distribution systems, media contact tracking, and media analytics capabilities designed to monitor coverage across broadcast, print, and digital news sources at both national and regional levels. The contract was not set aside for any specific business category and was awarded on a competitive basis. The work will be performed at Cision's location in Calverton, Maryland.
This award represents a follow-on to an earlier EPA media services contract, as indicated by the originating pre-solicitation notice from December 2020. Cision's scope of work encompasses the high-volume media monitoring and analytics functions required to support EPA's public affairs operations, including the capability to process up to 300,000 news stories annually. The contract was subject to a modification (MOD P00006) that increased the ceiling and extended the period of performance. Cision has established itself as a primary vendor for federal communications support, holding similar contracts with multiple agencies including the Executive Office of the President, Food and Drug Administration, and NASA, demonstrating consistent federal market competitiveness in media intelligence services.
