About the company
Motion Picture Licensing Corporation, operating as Motion Picture Licensing Corp, is a for-profit Los Angeles–based vendor that provides blanket public performance licensing for copyrighted audiovisual content to federal agencies on a prime-contractor basis, competing exclusively full-and-open with no set-aside designations. The company holds no SBA certifications and operates as a sole proprietor of its licensing delivery model — it neither subcontracts nor accepts subcontract work, and has earned 100% of its 48 federal awards as prime contractor.
MPLC's federal footprint centers on licensing agreements that enable agencies to legally display motion pictures, television content, and video clips in training facilities, conference rooms, break areas, and public spaces across their installations. Representative work includes a $1.94 million definitive contract awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs in December 2024 (running through November 2029) for comprehensive blanket motion picture licensing across VA facilities nationwide; a $1.92 million definitive contract with the Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (September 2022 through September 2027) for motion picture license renewal with four option years; and a $389,755.58 purchase order from the Department of Energy (awarded May 2024, running through May 2029) authorizing display of television and motion content in public settings across all DOE facilities. A September 2026 purchase order from the Department of Transportation ($157,500, running through September 2031) covers public performance licensing for audiovisual works from major Hollywood studios and thousands of minor producers.
Customer concentration is distributed across 20 federal agencies, with the top five by award count — the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (7 awards, $149 thousand), the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (6 awards, $702 thousand), the Social Security Administration (3 awards, $1.7 million), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (3 awards, $2.3 million) — accounting for 46% of awards. Dollar concentration ranks differently: the Department of State Bureau of International Information Programs ($3.7 million across 2 awards) and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs ($3.6 million across 2 awards) anchor 78% of combined potential value, signaling that State Department licensing agreements carry significantly higher ceiling values than the volume-driven NOAA and DOL relationships.
Recent activity has been sparse — one award in 2023, four in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with two awards (combined potential value $1.9 million) reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months. Service Contract Inventory reporting shows SCI-reportable invoiced revenue of $713 thousand in FY2023 and $741 thousand in FY2025 across zero full-time equivalent staff; both years reflect contract-level reporting with no itemized hourly labor breakdown. On the rare SCI-reportable contracts, government-paid hourly rates cluster tightly around $25,000 per hour, with the median at $25,455.54/hr and the range spanning $24,806 to $26,105 per hour — a narrow band reflecting the licensing-fee nature of MPLC's billing model rather than time-and-materials labor delivery.
