- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. DO NOT SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR SOLICITATION. REQUESTS FOR A SOLICITATION WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE. The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), is conducting a market survey to determine the existence of sources who have available time on a domestic or an international AM or FM radio station that has a broadcast signal that reaches into Cuba. BBG encompasses all civilian international broadcasting, including the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB), which is responsible Radio Marti broadcasting to Cuba. It is anticipated that the radio time will be leased on a firm-fixed price basis. Consequently, this market survey will be used to determine which sources may be included in any future acquisition of leased time on a domestic or international radio station to deliver OCB programming to a Cuban audience. It is anticipated that in a future solicitation a selected Contractor will be responsible for providing leased time on an existing domestic or an international radio station that has a listenable signal that reaches into Cuba. The leased radio time will be made available for the exclusive use of the BBG. In addition, there can NOT be any commercial or promo or political trailers or any programming by the Station or other party during, or immediately before or after the BBG programming. Interested Sources shall identify their business size (i.e., small, large, etc.) and submit a comprehensive written "Capabilities Statement" that must include, at the minimum, the following: (1) Broadcast frequency, (2) Transmitter power, (3) Antenna height, (4) Registered signal propagation pattern, (5) Available Leasing Times in blocks of hours, and (6) Contractor's anticipated information needs including, but not limited to, description(s) of any alternate radio leasing services or program times that could be made available to BBG. Based on the results of this market survey, BBG may limit any future procurement actions to those sources who provided a responsive submission to this notice. If determined to be in the interest of the Government, interested sources found to be responsive to this Notice may be requested to provide additional information. Those who respond to this Notice will be notified whether their written "Capabilities Statement," as verified by the BBG, is responsive to this Notice. The Government will not provide any compensation for responding or submitting information or follow-up documentation to this Notice. Please note that any future requirement for the above described services may be subject to the availability of funding. The "Capabilities Statement" shall clearly describe the Contractor's ability to meet the stated requirement and provide appropriate documentation describing the Contractor's experience and company. "Capability Statement" should be submitted to Myria Carpenter, Contract Specialist, Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), Office of Contracts (CON), Mary E. Switzer Building, 330 "C" St., SW, Room 4007, Washington, DC 20237 by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), June 13, 2011. Telephone, email or facsimile or oral responses are NOT acceptable and will not be considered. Any determination to compete, or not to compete, any subsequent procurement will be based on responses to this Sources Sought Notice, and is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice is not a RFP, IFB, or RFQ.
