Marine Science Educational Outreach Material Development

The contract seeks the development of educational content, signage, and interactive materials designed for public outreach and marine science communication at an aquarium, under the broader goal of enhancing public understanding of marine ecosystems. The work falls under NAICS code 541810, indicating it is classified as advertising, public relations, and related services, and it is being issued as a subcontract with a Small Business Administration set-aside, targeting eligible small businesses. The solicitation was posted on July 8, 2026, with responses due by July 23, 2026, and it is sponsored by the Department of Commerce under the agency name Wad-Sap, though specific office or performance location details are not provided. The project requires the creation of engaging, accurate, and accessible educational materials that support the aquarium's mission of marine science communication, likely including physical signage, digital or touchscreen interactives, interpretive graphics, and curriculum-aligned content suitable for diverse audiences. While no point of contact or detailed scope is disclosed, the contract implies a need for collaboration with scientific expertise to ensure content validity and effectiveness in public education. Bidders must be prepared to deliver cohesive, multi-format materials aligned with educational best practices and designed for high-traffic public environments. The absence of a specified place of performance suggests the materials may be developed remotely, with final delivery and installation occurring at the aquarium facility, though this is not confirmed.
