About the company
Critical Mention, Inc., a for-profit media monitoring and news clipping service provider headquartered in New York, operates as a prime contractor delivering subscription-based digital media tracking, real-time news analysis, and social media monitoring to federal agencies on full-and-open (non-set-aside) contracts. The vendor competes across 43 distinct customer agencies and carries a federal portfolio of $7.6 million in combined potential value across 102 awards, with $4.3 million obligated to date.
The company's core capability is comprehensive media intelligence: real-time monitoring of print publications, online news sources, television, radio, podcasts, and social media platforms, coupled with daily analyst-written briefings, sentiment analysis, influencer identification, narrative trend analysis, and dedicated account management with 24/7 support. The largest recent award is a $2.212 million five-year definitive contract from the Department of Transportation's Office of the Secretary (awarded August 2026, running through August 2031) to provide news clipping and media monitoring services across 4,500+ print publications and 20,000+ internet sources, two daily briefings, real-time social media tracking, and platform access for 15 users. Other representative work includes a $274,994 purchase order from the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys (Department of Justice) for media monitoring and analysis software, an $84,000 contract from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for licensed print content and multi-channel news clipping services through April 2028, and a $43,030 definitive contract with the Western Area Power Administration (designated Total Small Business set-aside) for media monitoring supporting the Public Affairs office.
Customer concentration spans multiple agencies with no dominant anchor. The top five funding organizations by potential value — Department of Transportation ($2.2 million), Federal Bureau of Investigation ($1 million), Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys ($582 thousand), Department of the Army ($380 thousand), and National Transportation Safety Board ($268 thousand) — account for 59% of combined potential value. By award count, concentration is lighter: EPA Office of the Administrator, NHTSA, and HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration each hold six awards, with the FBI at five. The vendor operates primarily through direct purchase orders and definitive contracts; one indefinite delivery contract vehicle (DJFFBI12008, Federal Bureau of Investigation) carries two task orders valued at $232 thousand combined.
Activity has been sparse recently — one award in 2025 and one in 2026 following five awards in 2024 and four in 2023 — suggesting either a slow period or a transition to larger, longer-duration engagements (the 2026 DOT five-year contract). Four awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $420 thousand, representing modest recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a pure prime (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint, delivering media monitoring services directly to customer agencies under firm fixed-price terms.
