About the company
Agence France Presse, a not-for-profit global news agency headquartered in Washington, DC, provides international news wire services, photo and video content, and real-time news portal access to federal agencies as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) on full-and-open procurements without small business set-asides. The vendor operates as a subsidiary of AFP, the parent news organization, and competes entirely outside SBA set-aside categories across a diversified customer base spanning civilian and defense agencies.
Agence France Presse's capability portfolio centers on news content delivery in multiple formats. The vendor provides 24/7 international real-time news text wire services, searchable databases of professional news and editorial photography, live video content for broadcast use, and portal access to comprehensive international news feeds. Representative prime work includes a $9.93 million definitive contract with the Voice of America (awarded September 29, 2022, through September 29, 2027) for wire services for news sources; a $600,000 one-year purchase order from VOA (June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027) for comprehensive news wire services, photo databases, and real-time international news content; a $278,499 definitive contract with the Defense Information Systems Agency (July 29, 2025, through September 29, 2030) for access to AFP's North America 24/7 international real-time news text wire service; and a $120,671 five-year subscription from the Bureau for Legislative and Public Affairs (awarded August 21, 2024, through August 31, 2029) for a searchable database of professional news and editorial photos.
Customer concentration is pronounced. The US Agency for Global Media Voice of America dominates both award count and potential value, holding 11 awards worth $17.7 million combined (86% of the portfolio's $20.7 million total potential value). The top five customers by dollar share account for 94% of combined potential value. A secondary tier includes the US Agency for Global Media Office of Cuba Broadcasting (2 awards, $646 thousand), the Bureau for Legislative and Public Affairs (6 awards, $449 thousand), the Defense Information Systems Agency (2 awards, $427 thousand), and the Department of the Army Southern Command (3 awards, $344 thousand). The vendor places task orders under the One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services vehicle (2 task orders) and USSOCOM Wide Mission Support (1 task order).
Activity has been sparse and flat. The source captures 51 total awards since 2000, with only two awards placed in 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025, and three in 2026 — no meaningful growth trajectory. Four awards (combined potential value $10.7 million) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure. In its minimal subcontractor role, Agence France Presse delivers technical support services under General Dynamics Information Technology (sub awards dated July 9, 2024, and July 3, 2025). The vendor's federal footprint is narrowly specialized in news content provision to civilian international affairs agencies, with limited sub-engagement and no direct Department of Defense prime relationships.
