About this opportunity
The Defense Media Activity has issued a Special Notice regarding a six-month contract extension for broadcast operation support services at the American Forces Network Broadcast Center (AFN-BC). This Notice of Intent announces the agency's plan to modify an existing contract with the incumbent contractor, Taft Broadcasting Company, L.L.C., under contract number HQ0516-21-C-0003. The modification will extend services from April 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026, with contract execution scheduled for March 19, 2026. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 516210 (Television Broadcasting Networks) and will be pursued as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1. This is not a competitive solicitation, though the agency is requesting written responses demonstrating capability to meet requirements.
The objective of this contract extension is to maintain continuous broadcast operation support services for AFN-BC's 24/7 suite of television channels through management and technical personnel who deliver daily TV Traffic and Programming Products. Contractors must submit written responses by 2:00 PM EST on March 18, 2026 at no cost to the government, with verbal responses being unacceptable. The requirement emphasizes critical performance standards including sensitive media handling, speed, accuracy, and compliance with DoD and broadcast industry standards, with services billed at hourly rates consistent with television broadcast industry practices. This special notice is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to participate. Inquiries regarding the opportunity should be directed to Acquisition Support Specialist Anthony LeAnder or Contracting Officer Nathan Mack at the provided contact information.
