AFN TV Infrastructure RFI Attachment Q_A.docx

This document is a Sources Sought Request for Information (RFI) from the Defense Media Activity (DMA) for an American Forces Network (AFN) TV Infrastructure project. The RFI seeks market research from potential vendors to develop an all-inclusive broadcast facility infrastructure supporting AFN television broadcast operations. The government is specifically interested in a turnkey solution capable of performing 100% of current media workflows and activities currently conducted at the AFN Broadcast Center, with potential capabilities for remote operations during emergency and daily scenarios.

The solicitation (HQ0516-FY-25-0008) is a pre-solicitation opportunity targeting businesses with NAICS code 516120 (Television Broadcasting Stations), and encourages responses from various business types including small businesses, disadvantaged businesses, woman-owned, 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned enterprises. Vendors are advised that their responses may be used for budgetary planning, developing an acquisition strategy, Statement of Objectives, and performance specifications. The government reserves the right to use submitted information as needed and is not obligated to provide feedback to respondents. The ultimate goal is to develop a subsequent Request for Quote solicitation based on the market research gathered through this Sources Sought notice.
