Quick Summary
The Department of the Army / W6QM MICC-CARLISLE BARRACKS is conducting a Sources Sought to identify vendors capable of providing Job Posting Advertisements for the U.S. Army War College (USAWC) and Air University (AU). This initiative aims to broaden the reach for job applicants beyond USAJOBS.com, specifically targeting the academic community. Responses are due May 27, 2026.
Scope of Work
This requirement is for multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) where selected vendors will provide advertising expertise and services. The primary goal is to advertise AU/AWC job postings on the vendor's newspaper-type website or publication, reaching a wider variety of recipients, particularly graduate-level educators, researchers, and administrators. The vendor must possess a developed subscription base within the academic community. The government will supply job announcement information, initially posted on USAJOBS.com, for the vendor to review and publish.
Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sources Sought (leading to Blanket Purchase Agreements)
- Duration: BPAs, with individual call orders not to exceed $2,500 and an annual limit of $10,000.

- Response Due: May 27, 2026, at 11:00 AM (Eastern Time).

Special Requirements & Limitations
