Contract DOC1620963421

The University of Nebraska, through its Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO), awarded a contract to Nebraska Public Media Foundation for advertising and broadcast production services related to the 2026 National Scholastic Athletic Association (NSAA) Boys Basketball Championship. The contract, valued at $3,600.00, was executed on June 24, 2025, with a performance period of March 1–31, 2026. This award represents a discrete component of a larger $23,000 production grant agreement under which Nebraska Public Media Foundation provides comprehensive broadcast coverage and production services for multiple NSAA championship events throughout the 2025–2026 season, including girls softball, girls volleyball, boys football, girls basketball, girls soccer, boys soccer, and boys baseball.

The services delivered under this contract consist of advertising spots during the 2026 NSAA Boys Basketball Championship broadcast, with Nebraska Public Media Foundation retaining full editorial, production, and distribution control. Standard production credits are included in the base contract value, with enhanced and field production credits available at additional costs of $250 and $500, respectively. The contract fell below UNO's competitive review threshold of $10,000, thereby exempting it from formal competitive bidding requirements. Primary internal contact for UNO is Ashley M. Ostransky, Director of Operations for Strategic Marketing & Communications. Payment is to be submitted via email to invoiceautomation@nebraska.edu with the associated purchase order number.
