FY26-DOEE-USA-Product Stewardship Outreach

The District of Columbia’s Department of Energy and Environment is forecasting a contract opportunity focused on education and engagement activities for a Zero Waste Product Stewardship Program. This initiative aims to raise public awareness and drive behavioral change around responsible product consumption, disposal, and recycling, with an emphasis on reducing waste and promoting sustainable practices across the community. The program will involve outreach efforts designed to inform residents, businesses, and institutions about product stewardship principles, extended producer responsibility, and waste diversion strategies aligned with the city’s broader environmental goals. The contract will support the development and implementation of targeted campaigns, workshops, materials, and partnerships that help build a culture of zero waste. While specific funding amounts and award dates are not yet available, the forecast indicates activity is expected to unfold in fiscal year 2026 with operations centered in the District of Columbia. Stakeholders including nonprofits, educators, environmental organizations, and communication firms with experience in public engagement and sustainability programs are encouraged to prepare for potential future solicitations. All details and updates will be accessible through the official DC contracts portal.
