STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)
The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), an independent federal agency, is a fast-moving, multi-cultural organization that encompasses all U.S. civilian international broadcasting. The BBG is comprised of the Voice of America, which delivers high quality, multimedia programming in 44 languages to audiences worldwide; the Office of Cuba Broadcasting (Radio and TV Marti); the International Broadcasting Bureau, which provides transmission, administrative, and other support service; and three grantee organizations – Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty; the Middle East Broadcasting Networks (Alhurra TV and Radio Sawa), and Radio Free Asia.
The Office of Office of Cuba Broadcasting (OCB) has a requirement for exclusive, non-transferrable license and rights for a Cuban satirical variety and comedy sketch show for inclusion into its programming. The format will be a 30 minute, scripted satire produced by a team with a demonstrated ability to engage and entertain audiences in Cuba. The show will provide some lighter fare to go along with the news and information relevant to Cuban’s daily lives provided by the Marti’s in their regular programming.
These comedic skits must be able to parody events in the daily lives of Cubans on the Island, and will use humor to entertain, engage, educate and enlighten audiences in Cuba.
The show will ideally be 3 segments with accompanying commercial breaks followed by a formal close with a total running time between 26 and 30 minutes. It should also be easily transferrable to online and mobile platforms so fans can consume content in ‘snackable’ short form segments. The OCB requirement is for ten shows (one 30 minute show per week for a total of ten weeks).

Statement of Work

National Library of Medicine
1. Background Information
To assist consumers in obtaining the information they need to make informed decisions about health care, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) has developed MedlinePlus (medlineplus.gov), an easily understandable Web resource for the public. MedlinePlus contains and links to information from authoritative health Web sites and content providers, especially those from the National Institutes of Health. NLM makes MedlinePlus available to the public through a variety of MedlinePlus-branded Web sites, Web services, Web applications, APIs, email and social media communications, XML files and search results.
This Statement of Work (SOW) addresses NLM’s need to license a consumer health and medical news source for MedlinePlus in English and Spanish.
2. Objective
It is the intent of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to procure health and medical news articles, written for a lay audience, to be included on the MedlinePlus sites in English and Spanish. Content must be formattable for viewing with a Web browser, but NLM will also consider additional news content in video or other formats. NLM will host the content on its own servers.

g) Respondents should include any documentation related to editorial policies and procedures that insure the accuracy and integrity of each story.
h) Delivery of content must be reliable and consistently available at least every weekday.
i) Information must be current. Published dates and times included as a standard field are required.

j) Articles must be of substantial content. The majority of stories should be a minimum of 150+ words in length. Please indicate the average reading level for all articles and video transcripts.
k) Titles must be accurate in spelling and grammar and also brief yet descriptive.
l) Vendor must allow NLM to edit content for length and/or clarity (spelling out acronyms, removing extraneous words, such as “study” at the end of a headline, etc.).
m) Vendor must allow NLM to edit or add metadata or structured data markup to news content in order to achieve Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and social sharing goals for the MedlinePlus sites.
n) Attribution to outside resources provided: Information should include names and affiliations for sources quoted, and publication date and issue if source is a journal article.
o) No commercial content: Information must be free of commercial endorsements or advertisements.
p) Unobtrusive co-branding: Co-branding must not be intrusive. Please include a description and/or example of the desired co-branding.
q) Accessibility of content: Content must be accessible in accordance with Section 508 (29 U.S.C. 794d). It is the responsibility of the content provider to familiarize themselves with Section 508 requirements and ensure that their content meets these requirements.
r) Vendor must allow NLM to index the content provided for our search engine.
s) Vendor must allow NLM to have linked headlines to the content appear on any MedlinePlus-branded page and in the search results for the NLM main web site. Linked headlines may also appear on the NLM homepage (http://www.nlm.nih.go).
t) Vendor must allow NLM to send out linked headlines to individual subscribers by email, via RSS feeds or through links in social media applications such as Twitter.
u) Awardees will be required to provide NLM with technical support and access to any needed files in order for the NLM transition team to work on programming necessary in advance of the release for a seamless implementation on the MedlinePlus sites.
Vendor Responsibilities:
v) For citations of journal articles in the PubMed database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubme), the data provided by the vendor includes a mechanism for linking from individual news stories to the specific PubMed record/abstract.
w) Equivalent news content provided in English and Spanish.
(1) English stories translated or trans-created in Spanish should be delivered within 2 business days of the equivalent English story.
(2) There must be a mechanism for toggling between the English and Spanish versions of a news story when it is available in both languages.
x) Images are included with some articles to provide added value (indicate what percentage of articles include images). Any included image must have appropriate alt attribute text that conveys the context and purpose of the image as well as any text within the image. The alt attribute text should conform to accessibility best practices. NLM is allowed to edit the alt attribute text for any image.
y) Content file data includes metadata such as Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) unique identifiers or Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Metathesaurus Content Unique Identifiers.

4. Specific Technical Requirements

e) Any content hosted by the vendor rather than by NLM must be securely accessible via https protocol.
f) Sample technical documents, including the schema specifying layout of articles, and sample XML marked-up articles for English and Spanish should be included in response to this solicitation. NLM prefers schema versus DTD for better data validation.
g) Vendor will allow NLM to implement links to social networking sites and other online sharing forums from the individual content pages to allow MedlinePlus users to share content of interest within their social networks. NLM will implement the links through a custom solution or through a third party such as AddThis.com.
h) Vendor will allow MedlinePlus users to generate an ‘email to a friend’ containing the linked headline, to generate a print version of the article on the fly, or to otherwise share for personal use. The content provider does not need to provide the service. NLM may implement this with a custom solution.
i) NLM will forward to the vendor any feedback received from users regarding content.
j) When NLM staff identify major issues related to content, accessibility, or technical requirements, they will communicate the issues to the vendor. The vendor must describe their procedure for remediation and turn-around time for responding to the issues.
