Photography/ Videography BPA Set Up 2025-2028

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Region is seeking a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for photography and videography services to support its Fire External Affairs National Office from May 2025 through April 2028. The contract requires contractors to capture comprehensive visual content across BLM Fire program activities, including wildland fire suppression, fire preparedness, fuels management, station operations, and equipment documentation. Contractors must produce high-resolution digital photos and video footage meeting professional broadcast standards, with strict metadata documentation requirements. The evaluation will be based on three weighted factors: Price (40%), Technical Capability (40%), and Past Performance (20%), with offerors required to submit detailed pricing, work samples, and references demonstrating expertise in wildland fire environments. Proposals are due by May 5, 2025, with contractors needing to indicate their availability across multiple geographic regions including Alaska, Northwest, California, Great Basin, Rocky Mountain, and Southwest regions.

The solicitation is a total small business set-aside, establishing up to three BPAs for photography and videography services. Contractors must possess appropriate personal protective equipment and be prepared to work up to 10 hours daily in challenging environmental conditions. The government will own all produced media files, with contractors retaining limited rights to use content for publications with prior written approval. Travel expenses will be reimbursed at actual cost and current GSA per diem rates. Contractors must also adhere to safety guidelines outlined in the Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation Operations, and if applicable, possess a current Red Card (Incident Qualification Card) for non-escorted fireline access. The contract will utilize the Commercial Photography NAICS category (541922) and cover multiple regions, providing flexibility for different service providers to support BLM's comprehensive visual documentation needs.
