FY27 MDAR RFI- Request for Interest in story ideas for the 2027 MA Agriculture Magazine

The Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources is seeking story ideas for the 2027 Massachusetts Agriculture Magazine through a Request for Interest with solicitation number BD-27-1002-1003-001-131390, posted on July 15, 2026, and due by August 7, 2026 at 10:00 PM ET. This initiative is aimed at gathering compelling, relevant, and engaging content that reflects the diverse agricultural landscape of the state, with submissions encouraged from farmers, researchers, advocates, and other stakeholders with firsthand knowledge or insights into Massachusetts agriculture. The magazine serves as a key communication tool to highlight innovations, challenges, policies, and successes within the sector, and the selected story concepts will inform editorial planning for the upcoming edition. All submissions must be directed to Robert Monahan AGR, the designated Purchaser, and responses should align with the mission of promoting and supporting the state’s agricultural community. The opportunity is not a formal procurement or contract award but rather a request for interest to guide content development, and interested parties are encouraged to provide detailed, well-thought-out story proposals that capture the breadth of agriculture in Massachusetts. The office is located in Boston, MA, and interested individuals or organizations can access additional information through the provided CommBuys link. While no formal set-aside or NAICS code applies, this initiative is part of the state’s broader strategy to strengthen public awareness and engagement with its agricultural industry.
