About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi is seeking a qualified vendor to produce and disseminate a high-quality bilingual podcast series through Request for Quotation PR15479379. The solicitation requires a contractor to create 8-12 episodes of 20-30 minutes each, featuring U.S. and UAE business leaders, government representatives, and tech experts to promote bilateral cooperation and investment opportunities. Key deliverables include content development, scripting, bilingual production, recording, editing, creating teaser content and promotional graphics, and securing placement on major local media platforms including Sky News Arabia, The National, CNN Business Arabic, and Al Ain News. Bidders must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), maintain a permanent business address, and submit a technical proposal demonstrating their production capabilities. The government will evaluate proposals using the lowest-priced technically acceptable criteria, with quotations due by August 13, 2025 at 10:00 AM UAE time.
This procurement does not include any set-aside designations and no current incumbents or contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the contract aims to generate at least 500,000 impressions across all distribution platforms and highlight the UAE's $1.4 trillion investment commitment in U.S.-UAE economic cooperation. The project timeline spans from September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2026, with episodes released on a monthly schedule and bi-monthly performance reporting required. The place of performance is Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where the contractor will need to secure independent studio space as embassy facilities will not be provided. The podcast series will follow a blended bilingual format with hosts and guests speaking in their native languages, requiring subtitles and transcripts for accessibility, while covering themes of innovation, entrepreneurship, economic growth, and American ingenuity.
