Entertainment Associates, Inc.

Entertainment Associates, Inc. is a veteran-owned small business and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2002. The company specializes in providing television programming, programming support, and programming schedule services primarily to federal government agencies, with a significant focus on media content and broadcast initiatives. While specific details about the company's origins or additional business lines are not provided in the available contract data, the firm has established itself as a reliable provider of media-related services to the U.S. Department of Defense.

The company has consistently been awarded federal contracts by the Defense Media Activity (DMA) for television programming services, with a particular emphasis on supporting the American Forces Network. These contracts have included licensing and delivering various entertainment content such as animated series, live-action shows, and movie titles for broadcast to military personnel and their families worldwide. The contracts are typically firm fixed-price arrangements and have ranged in value from approximately $26,000 to $352,580. While most of the contracts are not set-aside, Entertainment Associates' status as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business allows it to compete for set-aside opportunities. The company has demonstrated capabilities in programming schedule development, content licensing, and media support services, primarily serving the DMA's global media initiatives.

Entertainment Associates holds a significant Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Defense Media Activity, awarded in April 2023 with a potential value of $5 million and a performance period through April 2028. This single-award BPA allows the DMA flexibility in obtaining customized media services, with multiple task orders already issued totaling $731,627. The BPA covers television programming, programming support, and programming schedule services, primarily delivered to the DMA's location in Riverside, California. Task orders under this BPA have consistently focused on providing content and support for global broadcast programs, enabling the DMA to inform and influence audiences through various media channels. The contract structure provides the agency with the ability to quickly obtain tailored media content and services within the $5 million ceiling over the five-year term.
