Pham Liem is a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American sole proprietorship based in Garden Grove, California, registered in SAM.gov since February 2017. The entity specializes in providing journalist services and media support, with a particular focus on supporting Voice of America's (VOA) Vietnamese Service broadcasting efforts. As a small business, Pham Liem offers targeted reporting and media assistance to help U.S. government international communication initiatives, particularly in delivering objective journalism and accurate information to audiences in Vietnam.

Through federal contract awards, Pham Liem has consistently provided reporting services and media support to the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), specifically for Voice of America's Vietnamese Service. The contract awards have been exclusively firm fixed-price call orders and purchase orders, ranging from $15,000 to $36,000 per award. These contracts involve journalist services, reporting support, and various media-related tasks that contribute to VOA's global media programs. Each contract has been awarded on a competitive basis without any specific set-aside designations, demonstrating the entity's ability to secure federal contracts based on merit and capability.

Pham Liem holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with Voice of America, valued at $150,000 and running from July 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. Under this BPA, three primary call orders have been placed: a $27,000 call for reporting services through May 2024, a $29,000 call for additional funding through May 2023, and an initial $31,000 call for services through May 2022. The most recent contract, a purchase order awarded on June 1, 2024, has a potential value of $15,000 and extends through May 31, 2027. These IDVs consistently support VOA's mission of promoting freedom and democracy by providing accurate, balanced news and information to international audiences, with a specific emphasis on Vietnamese-language broadcasting.
