The contract structure calls for a one calendar year base period with four one-year option periods, potentially extending the total contract duration to five years. The service must cover 17-18 specific television channels for the headquarters location and 35 channels for the fitness center, as detailed in the government's channel lineup documentation. The contract will be classified under NAICS code 516210 for Media Streaming Distribution Services, and the government is specifically seeking to determine through this market research whether alternative contractors exist who can meet these specialized requirements for cable television services at the secure government facility.
