About this opportunity

This pre-solicitation notice seeks access to CBS Newspath National Service video feeds, including live and on-demand coverage, 24/7 from the CBS News Washington Bureau. The Defense Media Activity seeks these video services to provide live coverage of military events that may otherwise not be accessible due to fiscal or logistical constraints. The contractor must provide routing switchers, daily video updates and support, as well as maintain all equipment. Payment will be made via WAWF. Proposals are due by November 10, 2020.
