Solicitation # FA701426Q0048
The Department of the Air Force is seeking a total small business set-aside under NAICS 512110 to provide professional digital media services for the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force, International Affairs. The objective is to produce a high-quality training and communication video, with a maximum runtime of 150 seconds, that explains the Burden Sharing initiative. The video will utilize 2D and 3D animation, motion graphics, and narration to illustrate how cooperation with allies and partners enhances collective security and strategic flexibility, specifically featuring the F-35A and other operational defense assets. The resulting contract will be a single firm-fixed-price award with a period of performance from September 23, 2026, to December 23, 2026. The procurement follows a phased, best-value tradeoff evaluation process. Offerors must pass three mandatory gates: a 3D model demonstration of the F-35A, a supporting storyboard, and a 10-15 second micro-video sample. Technical merit, specifically cinematic effect and audience engagement, is weighted as significantly more important than price. Key deliverables include a project management plan and production schedule due within 10 days of award, a creative treatment, and the final edited video. All work must be performed within the United States, and submissions must be handled through the PIEE Solicitation module. Invoicing and payments will be processed electronically via the Wide Area WorkFlow system.
