News Clips Services for DOT's Office of the Secretary

The Department of Transportation seeks a contractor to provide news clips services to support its Office of the Secretary. The contractor will be required to produce daily written news briefings analyzing media coverage from North American media databases and perform real-time media monitoring and social media analysis across 39 departmental accounts. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical factors, with technical standing being more important than price. Proposals were initially due May 13th but have been extended to May 10th following amendments providing answers to questions from interested offerors.

There is no set-aside designation for this full and open competition solicitation. Prior contractors delivered only portions of the required services, and no single incumbent has provided all services under the previous contracts. The work will be performed in Washington, D.C. over a one year base period and four optional one-year extensions. Offerors should be able to demonstrate experience searching various media formats, producing customized reports, and ensuring Section 508 compliance for all deliverables.
