The Defense Media Activity has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole-source contract to Warner Bros Domestic Television Distribution for television program and movie licensing materials. This procurement represents a follow-on to an existing licensing agreement between Warner Bros and the American Forces Network Broadcasting Center (AFN-BC). The contract will span one base year with four option years, running from September 29, 2025 through September 28, 2030. The procurement is being justified under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1 as having "only one responsible source" and will be structured as a firm fixed-price award. The contract falls under NAICS code 512120 for Motion Picture and Film Distribution and will replace the previous purchase order HQ0516-20-D-0001.

The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire broadcast distribution rights that will enable AFN-BC to provide a balanced and representative selection of television programming for Department of Defense personnel stationed overseas and their families. Interested parties must submit written responses demonstrating their capability by 4:00 PM EST on September 3, 2025. Questions should be directed electronically to the designated Acquisition Support Specialist and Contracting Officer through the provided email addresses. The government anticipates awarding the contract no later than September 30, 2025. This sole-source approach indicates that the government has determined Warner Bros is uniquely positioned to provide the required proprietary programming content and licensing materials necessary to support the AFN broadcasting mission to military personnel and their families abroad.
