Purchase Order HSCGG806PPKA201

T.I.Y.M. Publishing Company, Inc. was awarded a $24,990 purchase order by the federal government on September 15, 2006, for a full-color divider tab advertisement in an Arab-American Yearbook. The contract was performed in Washington, DC, with an ultimate completion date of October 15, 2006. This was a non-set-aside award with pricing classified as "Other," indicating a fixed or negotiated rate structure specific to this advertising placement. A sole source justification was prepared and hand-carried to the Health Sciences Center (HSC) for approval, reflecting the government's determination that only this vendor could provide the specific advertising services requested.

The modest contract value of approximately $25,000 reflects the cost of a specialized advertising placement targeting the Arab-American community. The purchase order structure and relatively short performance timeline suggest this was a straightforward procurement for marketing or outreach purposes by the federal agency. No subcontractors were identified for this award, indicating T.I.Y.M. Publishing Company, Inc. was the sole entity responsible for delivering the advertisement placement services.
