The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) seeks contractors for a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide photography and video services from May 2025 to April 2028, aimed at documenting the BLM Fire program. Tasks include capturing wildland fire activities, preparedness drills, and fuels management practices across various geographic regions. Contractors must deliver high-quality media suitable for national broadcast, adhering strictly to safety and operational standards as specified in the Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation Operations. Each contractor must maintain complete metadata for all delivered content, including details such as creator name, incident descriptions, and copyright status. The BLM retains ownership of all produced material, allowing for public dissemination and use, while contractors may claim copyright for original works under specific conditions. The document details logistical requirements for contractors, including necessary protective gear, transportation arrangements, and reimbursement protocols for travel-related expenses. Ultimately, this initiative aims to effectively convey the importance of the BLM Fire program and enhance public awareness through professional visual documentation while adhering to rigorous federal standards for safety and quality.

The government solicitation seeks to award a contract for high-quality photography and videography services related to wildland fire operations. Evaluation criteria include Price (40%), Technical Capability (40%), and Past Performance (20%). Offerors must demonstrate competitive pricing under federal guidelines, providing detailed labor rates, post-production costs, and pricing transparency. Technical capability will be assessed through relevant portfolios showcasing experience in challenging conditions and ability to produce broadcast-quality media. Offerors should comply with metadata and format requirements, submit project details, and provide a Red Card if claiming fireline experience. Past performance will focus on previous work in similar environments, adherence to safety protocols, and quality of deliverables. The submission should include comprehensive information on relevant contracts and client references, underlining the organization’s qualifications for this specialized project in wildland fire documentation.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking proposals for photography and videography services at the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) over a three-year period. The intent is to establish up to three Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) for services capturing various aspects of the BLM Fire program, including fuels reduction projects and fire preparedness efforts. Prospective bidders must submit hourly pricing for specific periods from May 2025 to April 2028 and must indicate their service offerings (photography, videography, or both) and regions of operation across designated areas including Alaska and the Southwest. The solicitation is set aside for small businesses, with costs for travel being reimbursed according to federal guidelines. Questions about the solicitation must be submitted in writing by April 11, 2025, to the designated Contract Specialist for clarity. Incomplete submissions may be disregarded, and offers must include a signed SF-1449 form along with acknowledging any amendments to the solicitation. The evaluation will consider technical capability, quality of work samples, and past performance, ensuring that awarded contracts provide the best value to the government.
