Navy BUMED Video Production Services 2016-2019

The Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery awarded this Master IDIQ on March 8, 2016, for video production services supporting the Visual Information Directorate at BUMED Bethesda, with ordering authority ending March 21, 2019—the vehicle is no longer active.

The contract covered full-lifecycle video production from preproduction through final delivery, including script development, on-camera talent and narration, B-roll acquisition, and delivery of master tapes, digital web versions, and music licensing documentation. Content addressed Navy Medicine's mission and personnel education across active-duty military, civilian Department of Navy staff, broader DoD audiences, and the general public, governed by DODINST 5040.

Ordering closed more than seven years ago. The vehicle generated only two task orders, both awarded July 6, 2017, with a combined potential value of $101 thousand, fully obligated. Venture Media, Inc. received the larger order—$77 thousand for "Health at Boot Camp Video Production," ultimately completed April 11, 2019—while Catmedia Inc. took a $23.5 thousand order for "Navy Med Log Video Production," completed November 19, 2019. Both orders were firm-fixed-price and unrestricted, with no set-aside designations. The two primes split customer placement evenly by order count, though Venture Media dominated by value, with BUMED itself funding the larger award and Naval Supply Systems Command funding Catmedia's order.

Activity was minimal and concentrated: two orders in a single award month, no subsequent orders, and no evidence of recompete or successor vehicle in the source material. This vehicle is closed to new business and represents historical activity only.
