Center For Media, Information And Social Research

Center For Media, Information And Social Research, a not-for-profit organization headquartered in T'bilisi, Georgia, operates as a prime recipient and contractor on federal grants and purchase orders focused on media freedom, disinformation resilience, and civic participation programs with the Department of State's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. The vendor does not subcontract and operates exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) competition.

Center For Media, Information And Social Research has executed three federal awards, all with a single customer agency: the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs. The vendor holds a $50 thousand purchase order (awarded September 18, 2026, completion scheduled for April 1, 2027) for a freedom of expression needs assessment in Georgia, performed on a firm fixed price basis. The two prior awards were project grants: a September 2023 grant (completed September 25, 2024) aimed at promoting media freedom and citizen participation through access to public information, and an October 2022 grant (completed April 28, 2023) to implement a project mapping disinformation resilience in Georgia. Combined potential value across all three awards totals $50 thousand, though cumulative obligations reach $119 thousand, indicating that at least one award carried a higher obligated amount than its stated ceiling. The vendor's award portfolio is concentrated entirely on Georgia-based operations supporting State Department initiatives in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.

Activity frequency is minimal — one award per year in 2022 and 2023, one in 2026 — and the vendor's footprint shows no indication of growth, scale, or secondary customer relationships. The September 2026 purchase order represents the only award with completion inside the next twenty-four months. The vendor does not hold parent contract vehicles (IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs) and operates only on direct purchase orders and project grants from State's regional bureau.
