DOL Audio-Video Production Services

The Department of Labor Office of Information and Public Affairs established this Master IDIQ for audio-video production services on December 1, 2009, with the last date to order being August 5, 2020—meaning the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders and has been closed to new work for nearly six years. The vehicle is functionally inactive for new pursuits.

Over its ten-year ordering period, the IDIQ generated 121 task orders totaling $46.3 million in combined potential value, of which $5.2 million (11 percent) has been obligated. Task-order activity peaked in 2016 with 12 awards and declined steadily thereafter: 5 in 2017, 6 in 2018, 6 in 2019, and 4 in 2020. The most recent order was placed on September 29, 2020.

Awarded work spans audiovisual production, webcast and event support, video production and editing, equipment provision, and broadcast engineering services. Recurring customers include the Office of Public Affairs, the Employee Benefits Security Administration, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, and the Office of the Solicitor. Orders often fund annual FOIA training conferences, agency webcast programs, and mission-specific video production—ranging from employee onboarding content to public awareness campaigns.

Competition concentrated heavily among a small set of primes. Mobile Video Services LTD received 37 orders valued at $16.5 million combined potential; Oppix Productions Inc. received 30 orders valued at $9.2 million. Omnitec Solutions LLC, despite only 5 orders, commanded $18.3 million in combined potential value. Together, the top three primes by potential value held approximately 79 percent of combined potential value across 72 orders. Eight distinct primes shared the awardee base, with the remaining five firms capturing roughly 21 percent of potential value.

Approximately 79 percent of task orders carried a Total Small Business set-aside designation; 21 percent were unrestricted. Task-order values typically ranged from under $1,000 to $200,000, with firm-fixed-price, labor-hours, and time-and-materials pricing models all present. The vehicle served 14 distinct customer agencies, though DOL's internal offices (primarily the Office of Information and Public Affairs) concentrated roughly 65 percent of orders by volume.
