The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) intends to issue Purchase Order order to conduct research that estimates an audience reach figure for VOA and RFA offerings using non-probability samples, digital analytics data, and/or available third-party sources. USAGM, like all federal agencies, is required to show evidence of performance and effectiveness.  Common measures such as audience reach, and reliability of programming have long served the USAGM in assessing the impact of our media on populations. Research is also used to drive strategic and program planning within the agency. Information about media markets, trends in technology adoption, and audience demographics and preferences are used for these efforts. Since 2001, the USAGM’s research program contracts have supplied the agency with the business intelligence required for both performance measurement and planning through intensive study of broadcaster markets and audiences.  

The Period of Performance shall be   08/20/2023 – 02/19/2024
