FAQ
What work fits NAICS 516120?
- Production and delivery of locally produced public affairs or educational television programs cleared for over-the-air broadcast and delivered as broadcast-ready master files.
- Leased-time agreements providing scheduled broadcast hours on a licensed channel for agency-produced programming or public-service slots.
- Contracts to operate master control and playout functions, handling program scheduling, ad/PSA insertion, live feeds, and feed delivery to transmitter sites.
- Provision of transmission origination services including signal ingest, studio-to-transmitter link operation, and coordinated handoff to licensed transmission facilities.
When is NAICS 516120 a weak fit?
- Audio-visual production contracted solely for internet streaming without over-the-air broadcast distribution because licensed transmission operations are absent.
- Purchase or manufacture of broadcast transmitters, antennas, or studio technical equipment because those are equipment manufacturing or vendor-supply activities, not station operations.
- Cable system carriage or multichannel video distribution services where the procurement concerns a cable operator network rather than over-the-air television station operation.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 516120?
- Scope language requiring operation of a licensed broadcast channel, station-identification schedules, or provision of broadcast facility identifiers and transmitter coordinates.
- Deliverables that specify master control tasks, program playout logs, captioning/closed-caption compliance, and submission of broadcast programming logs.
- Performance requirements for continuous broadcast uptime, scheduled daily broadcast hours, punctual program handoffs, and technical parameters for authorized effective radiated power and antenna patterns.
