--Intent to award Sole Source for Video Production

The Regional Contracting Center-Fort Bragg plans to negotiate a firm-fixed price contract on a sole source basis with Moonlight Communications for the production of video materials supporting the Army Community Service (ACS) program at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This contract covers the creation of a 12-minute video, a 2-minute video, and a 30-second public service announcement. Moonlight Communications holds proprietary rights to the necessary digital archived video footage and the use of specialized broadcast quality equipment, AVID editing software, and first-generation digital archiving standards, making them the only capable source for this work. The contractor will incorporate existing footage from previous public announcements alongside new content for a seamless final product. The anticipated contract period is from August 1, 2008, through November 30, 2008. This sole source award is made under the authority of the Federal Acquisition Regulation allowing non-competitive awards when only one source is available. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals, and the government retains the discretion not to compete this requirement. Interested parties wishing to comment must respond by July 25, 2008. The contract is classified under NAICS code 512110, related to motion picture and video production services, and is handled through the Department of Defense office at Fort Bragg.
