What this contract is for

In accordance with RFO FAR 5.101, this is a public notification of a proposed sole-source contract action. The West Virginia Army National Guard (WVARNG) Purchasing and Contracting Office intends to solicit and award on a sole-source basis under the authority of RFO FAR 12.102(a) and FAR 13.101(b) to West Virginia Radio Corporation (dba MetroNews Sports). Requirement: The WVARNG Recruiting and Retention Battalion has a requirement for a comprehensive, statewide high school football broadcast sponsorship. The requirement consists of a one (1) year base period and two (2) one-year option periods. Deliverables include synchronized statewide radio broadcast integration across 47 stations, exclusive streaming and mobile app placements, and presenting sponsorship rights for the season-opening kickoff game. Justification for Sole Source: The West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) is the governing body for high school athletics and holds the exclusive intellectual property and media rights for high school championship events. WVSSAC has granted exclusive broadcasting and media syndication rights to MetroNews Sports. As the sole proprietor of these exclusive legal rights and the only network with a 47-station synchronized footprint covering all 55 counties in West Virginia, MetroNews Sports is the only vendor capable of fulfilling the WVARNG's requirement for statewide broadcast integration and live in-game commercial placement. Disclaimer: This Notice of Intent is not a request for competitive proposals or a solicitation for offers. A solicitation will not be issued. However, any vendor that believes it can meet the requirements as outlined above may submit a capability statement or proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. Capability statements...

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
