Radio stations were categorized by format, broadcast location & strength, and ownership. Several non-commercial radio stations were not considered for award. Non-commercial radio stations might be college stations or lower level type broadcasts.

NCO 4’s analysis found that Forever Media, Inc. has the broadest station formatting and covers the entire geographic area of need (including CBOCs). Forever Media stations broadcast primarily from Altoona/Hollidaysburg, which is centrally located in the geographic area of need and reaches all of Altoona VAMC’s listening area. Lastly, Forever Media is a small business concern under NAICS 515111 in SAM.

NCO 4 intends to sole source the subject requirement to Forever Media.
