TV Production of Malaysian Football

The U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur is soliciting quotations for the production of a broadcast-quality television program documenting the experiences of six Malaysian football students participating in a U.S.-based exchange program. The project, identified by solicitation number 19MY3026Q0010, requires full production activities—including pre-production, filming, editing, and delivery—to be conducted entirely within Malaysia between July and September 2026, with key locations including Kuala Lumpur, Keningau, Kota Bharu, and parts of Selangor. The final deliverable is a 30- to 60-minute program featuring English narration with Malay subtitles for non-English dialogue, accompanied by promotional teasers, social media cutdowns, all raw footage, project files, and a final report summarizing program outcomes. All materials produced under this contract become the exclusive property of the U.S. Embassy and must include branding for both the U.S. Embassy and the Freedom 250 initiative. The fixed budget is set at MYR 195,000, covering all costs associated with production in Malaysia; no adjustments or additional funds are permitted, and no payment will be made until final approval of all deliverables. Submission of a quotation is mandatory by 12:00 noon on May 20, 2026, via email to [email hidden] with the specified subject line, and contractors quoting above $40,000 USD must maintain an active registration in SAM.gov. The Embassy retains final approval authority over all creative content and requires a minimum of three rounds of revisions before acceptance, with technical specifications to be confirmed post-award with the Malaysian broadcast partner. Subcontractors must be disclosed, and the contractor is solely responsible for securing all local permits, releases, and legal clearances, while the Embassy provides access to participants and coordinates their release forms. No formal evaluation factors, weighting, or FAR clauses are prescribed; award is expected to be based on compliance with deliverables, technical quality, and cost within the fixed budget, with full payment issued within 30 days of invoice submission after successful completion.
