The government requires Remote Broadcast Transmission, Engineering and Production Services to support the Office of External Affairs (OEA) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Office of External Affairs is responsible for the effective dissemination of accurate information to the public via print, electronic media and the World Wide Web concerning FEMA's Programs, missions and goals. 

FEMA's mission encompasses the centralized direction of emergency management in both peacetime and war, for emergencies ranging from natural to man-made disasters.  FEMA executes its responsibilities via ten Regional Offices, five Federal Regional Centers, the Mt. Weather Emergency Assistance Center (MWEOC), the National Operations Training Center (NETC), the Olney Federal Support Center, Joint Field Offices and other fixed disaster sites.

FEMA's OEA requires on-demand services of a professional media services company with experience and reliability in the deployment and delivery of professional broadcast transmission equipment and crews to various locations throughout the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands.  These services are used during pre- and post-declared federal disasters to support the OEA in its mission to prepare and disseminate information to the public.

The contractor(s) will be responsible for working with FEMA personnel to produce and deliver pre- and post-event information, including public communications, through national and local news media, agency social media efforts, and situational awareness support of: the Agency Administrator's Office, senior leadership, the Disaster Operations Division (to include the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC) and all Regional Response Coordination Centers), Headquarters, Regional Offices, Joint Field Offices, Transitional Recovery Offices, Long Term Recovery Offices, and other DHS/FEMA facilities.

To be eligible for award, offerors must be registered with the Central Contractor Registry at www.ccr.gov. Additionally, Representations and Certifications must be completed at http://orca.bpn.gov.
