About this IDV
The U.S. Agency for Global Media awarded a blanket purchase agreement to Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees to provide overseas stringer services supporting the Voice of America's newsgathering efforts in Taiwan. The underlying IDV, established in July 2022 for $200,000, facilitates additional reporting capabilities through 2024 without a set-aside designation. Two firm fixed price call orders against this vehicle expanded coverage, with the first issued in June 2023 valued at $8,000 and extending to May 2024 for a specific stringer. The second, awarded in July 2022 for $27,000, also had a period of performance through May 2023. Both calls were placed without a set-aside and involved on-the-ground sourcing and media support from Taiwan. The agreement and subsequent orders aim to bolster the Agency's Asia-Pacific news coverage by procuring temporary reporting services directly from the listed geographic location.
As the federal entity overseeing nonmilitary international broadcasting, the Agency utilizes blanket agreements to efficiently obtain ad hoc support increasing its foreign newsgathering network. The IDV and orders at issue continue this practice by contracting with an overseas vendor to temporarily augment the Voice of America's China branch programming through localized stringers. Details are limited due to the contractor being identified as a generic foreign awardee. However, the arrangement aims to enhance the Agency's Asia-Pacific coverage through placement of on-site media representatives until the IDV's expiration in mid-2024.
