Parks Photo Lab no longer available for multimedia services

  • Published

Due to decreased Fiscal Year 2012 and beyond budgets, the Air Armament Center, 96th Air Base Wing, 919th Special Operations Wing and the 46th Test Wing can no longer fund multimedia services through the Parks Photographic Laboratory Multimedia contract. The 46th TW is undergoing a de-scope to support Test Wing mission-only services (e.g., airborne camera, test video/still camera, and motion picture laboratory).

Effective Oct. 1, the following multimedia capabilities will no longer be available via the Parks contract: official photography/videography, audiovisual installation and maintenance, graphics/engraving/displays, and presentations in Bldg. 1 and the Eglin Conference Center. Customers will have to contract with off-base multimedia providers for these services using GPC or other means.

While users may choose any photo provider they want, Eglin's contracting division sent a copy of official photography requirements to several known photo studios in the area, and the following photo studios have expressed interest in providing in-studio services to Eglin:
