About this opportunity
The U.S. Embassy in Manama, Bahrain, through the Department of State, is seeking a media company to provide professional video and photo production services for the Bahrain-Boston Innovation Bridge program. The selected contractor will produce a feature-length documentary (30-45 minutes runtime) documenting Bahraini university-aged entrepreneurs' experiences in Boston and Cambridge, along with a series of short episodic documentaries, social media content, and promotional materials that showcase American entrepreneurship and innovation. The contractor must demonstrate experience in public sector marketing, digital media expertise, and the ability to produce high-quality, engaging content, while also being registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and providing evidence of past performance and financial stability. The contract will be awarded using the lowest price technically acceptable evaluation criteria, with proposals required to be submitted by September 16, 2025, at 4:00 pm Bahrain time. All pricing must be submitted in Bahraini Dinars, and Defense Base Act insurance is required for all personnel working on the project.
This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors, including U.S.-based production companies that do not require a Bahraini business address. The contract performance period extends from September 2025 to September 2026, with deliverables including 4K and HD video formats along with complete project files. The documentary content will be delivered in English and/or Arabic and is intended for distribution across social media platforms, online channels, and university screenings. Payment will be structured in stages upon milestone completion, and the vendor must develop their own budget proposal and marketing campaign measurement plan as part of the integrated media campaign. The place of performance is Zinj, Bahrain, though the production company can operate from a U.S. base while coordinating with Embassy-provided participant contacts for the documentary subjects.
