The MICC Fort Stewart Contracting Office intends to issue a six (6) month extension to the incumbent contractor for Marne TV Support on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia. The extension period will be from 24 Sep 2013 to 23 Mar 2014. While budget cuts may affect the longevity of this requirement and the need beyond the six (6) month extension, this announcement is issued to determine the extent to which small businesses are capable of performing as the prime contractor for all labor, personnel, equipment, materials, supplies, supervision and other items and services necessary to provide Marne TV Support located on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield.

The contractor provides services as a Producer, Director, Writer, Editor, Broadcaster, Cameraman, Grip, Sound Tech, Engineer, Graphics Editor, and News Anchor, to create television programming with a military emphasis. The programming must be sustainable with a focus on continued improvement. The six (6) month extension will allow for sufficient time to determine if the requirement will be continued and to compete the follow-on requirement which will be posted on the FBO website.
