About the company
3Play Media, Inc., a for-profit media accessibility services company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, delivers closed captioning, audio description, transcription, and translation services to federal agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open and set-aside vehicles, competing exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards) with no subcontractor footprint in the federal space.
The Smithsonian Institution dominates 3Play Media's customer base by award count and dollars. Smithsonian accounts for fourteen awards worth $466 thousand combined potential value across the vendor's $17.1 million portfolio, representing 75% of the distinct customer agencies served and anchoring the delivery order and purchase order pipeline through a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (REMEDIATION IDIQ) valued nominally at $1 with a September 13, 2024 award date and a period of performance from September 13, 2024 to September 13, 2024. Recent Smithsonian work includes a $37,908 delivery order (August 20, 2025) for transcription and captioning of 324 hours of digital sound and video recordings for the Archives of American Art, a $35,820 purchase order (July 18, 2024) for digital transcription services, and a $147,459 purchase order (July 27, 2023) for digital transcription services, all priced on labor-hours or firm-fixed-price bases with no set-aside designation. The Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service ranks second by potential value with three awards ($178 thousand), the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration places third with three awards ($43 thousand), and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management and the National Gallery of Art round out the active customer set. However, the potential-value ranking is skewed by a single $16 million GSA Federal Acquisition Service award — likely a governmentwide schedule vehicle or blanket purchase agreement ceiling — which, if consumed incrementally across task orders, would represent material upside against the current $17.1 million portfolio ceiling.
3Play Media holds two primary parent vehicles: the Smithsonian single-award REMEDIATION IDIQ (seven task orders, $249 thousand combined potential value) and a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (seven task orders, $128 thousand combined potential value). A $100,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management National Office for professional training services appears in one call order for video captioning ($8,822), indicating modest activity on that vehicle.
Award activity has been uneven year over year: one award in 2022, five in 2023, four in 2024, four in 2025, and two through mid-2026. The most recent award (August 14, 2026) is a $16,149 delivery order from the Smithsonian for transcription of oral history interviews. No recompete cliff data is present in the source, but the flat or declining trajectory suggests a watch position rather than material growth pipeline.
3Play Media competes exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) and carries no federal subcontractor presence in the recent award history. Service Contract Inventory data shows minimal SCI-reportable activity — nine records spanning FY2022–FY2025 all as named subcontractor, with less than 0.5 FTEs per year reported — indicating that most of the vendor's federal work sits below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold and is delivered directly to agencies rather than through larger prime contractors. This profile suggests a boutique media accessibility specialist focused on direct agency relationships and small to mid-sized delivery orders rather than a large subcontractor or teaming partner on enterprise contracts.
