The Great Power Competition

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking a 6-part YouTube video series that explores the Great Power Competition between the United States, China, Russia, and near-peer competitors, focusing on its potential impact on future Naval Officers. The solicitation, identified by number N0018925Q0033, is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures with the government's primary intent to negotiate with 3 PENNY FILMS, LLC as the sole identified capable source. The technical approach for the video series will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis, with pricing assessed for reasonableness. Potential offerors must submit their responses by 10:00 AM EST on November 27, 2024, with all questions required to be submitted by 2:00 PM EST on November 25, 2024. The solicitation is classified under the NAICS category 512110 for Motion Picture and Video Production and PSC category 6770 for Processed Film.

The contract is not designated with a specific set-aside and will be performed at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The proposed contract action involves producing 6 video episodes to be delivered monthly from December 2024 through May 2025, with payment structured in 5 monthly installments. While the government initially intends to work exclusively with 3 PENNY FILMS, LLC, they retain discretion to potentially compete the effort on a full and open competitive basis depending on responses received. The solicitation allows for all responsible sources to submit quotes until the closing date, with oral communications explicitly deemed unacceptable. The project represents a targeted multimedia effort to examine geopolitical dynamics and their potential implications for naval strategic planning and officer development.
