Paramount Pictures Corp

Paramount Pictures Corp, operating through its Paramount Studios division and registered as Paramount Classics, is a major American film and television production company that provides television programming and visual media content to the federal government. As a for-profit corporate entity and subsidiary of National Amusements, Inc., Paramount leverages its extensive media production capabilities to support government agencies' communication and information dissemination objectives. The company maintains production facilities in Riverside, California, where it fulfills its federal contract obligations, and has maintained an active registration in SAM.gov since September 2006, with current registration valid through April 28, 2026.

Paramount Pictures Corp has exclusively provided television programming services to the Defense Media Activity (DMA), a component of the Department of Defense, through a series of firm fixed-price blanket purchase agreement call contracts. Since 2021, the company has been awarded more than a dozen individual task orders ranging in value from $18,507 to $175,000, with contract values totaling over $945,000 across all identified awards. These contracts support the DMA's central mission of creating and distributing visual information products to inform military personnel and the public about Department of Defense activities. The television programming content delivered under these contracts is produced at Paramount's Riverside, California facilities and serves military communication and public engagement initiatives. None of the awards to Paramount have been designated with small business set-asides, reflecting the company's status as a large, established vendor. Task orders have been issued on a consistent annual basis, with award dates occurring across multiple fiscal years from 2021 through August 2025, demonstrating a sustained contractual relationship between Paramount and the DMA.

Paramount Pictures Corp holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Defense Media Activity valued at $5,000,000, awarded on August 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2027. This overarching BPA, which operates under the DMA's Media and Entertainment Solutions government-wide acquisition contract vehicle, serves as the primary mechanism through which the Defense Media Activity procures television programming services from Paramount on an ongoing basis. All task orders issued against this BPA are designated as firm fixed-price contracts for the delivery of television programming content, with individual call orders ranging from $18,507 to $175,000. The BPA structure allows the DMA to efficiently manage its procurement of specialized media production services while maintaining flexibility to issue targeted delivery orders based on evolving communication and engagement needs. This single-award arrangement reflects Paramount's established capabilities and strategic importance to the Defense Media Activity's visual information dissemination mission, positioning the company as an exclusive provider of television content under this particular government-wide acquisition contract vehicle.
