Department of War (DoW) National News Service Q-A.docx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) and Sources Sought Notice for market research purposes related to the National News Service contract opportunity. The Department of War Information Activity (DWIA), formerly known as Defense Media Activity (DMA), is seeking information from potential contractors to support its consolidated media organization mission. The RFI is issued under solicitation number HQ0516-FY-26-0010 and is classified as a Pre-Solicitation opportunity.

The DWIA's mission encompasses providing information products to Department of War personnel, their families, and the public across all media platforms, with a focus on news production, live streaming, and broadcasts on the American Forces Network (AFN) and social media channels. The procurement targets contractors with NAICS code 516120 (Internet Publishing and Broadcasting) or contractor-recommended NAICS classifications. As a sources sought notice, this document is intended primarily for market research purposes to identify capable contractors and gather information about available solutions and industry capabilities prior to formal solicitation, rather than to solicit binding proposals or pricing at this stage.
