Tenzin Ngawang

Tenzin Ngawang is a minority-owned, for-profit sole proprietorship providing overseas stringer services to the U.S. Agency for Global Media's Voice of America. Through prime federal contracts, Tenzin Ngawang has delivered stringer reporting to support Voice of America's Tibetan language newscast programming. This has included translation services and on-the-ground reporting overseas. Awards have been firm fixed price call orders issued against a Voice of America blanket purchase agreement, with no set-aside designations applied. Places of performance have included Washington, D.C. and East Elmhurst, New York.

As the independent U.S. government international broadcaster, Voice of America produces radio, television and digital news content in over 40 languages. The contracted stringer services have thus aimed to provide accurate information and promote democratic values abroad through Voice of America's Tibetan language programming. Potential values on the call orders have ranged from $4,880 to $12,000, with performance periods spanning one year.

Tenzin Ngawang holds a single award blanket purchase agreement with Voice of America to provide overseas stringer services supporting the Tibetan Service newscast through May 2024. Three firm fixed price calls have been issued under the agreement, valued at $5,050, $5,500, and $4,880. The calls have procured similar overseas stringer and language support services as noted above. No set-aside provisions were applied to the BPA or calls.
