Public Education and Outreach Campaigns

The contract seeks to develop and implement comprehensive public education and outreach campaigns aimed at boaters, anglers, and local communities to curb the spread of aquatic invasive species. Efforts will include the creation and distribution of educational materials, installation of interpretive signage, facilitation of workshops, and deployment of digital outreach tools to maximize engagement and awareness across target audiences. The initiative is designed to foster behavioral change by providing clear, actionable guidance on how to inspect, clean, and dry equipment and vessels to prevent inadvertent transport of invasive species. This subcontract, issued under NAICS code 541810 by the Fish and Wildlife Service within the Department of the Interior, is open for proposals with a deadline of December 16, 2026. The work will be performed across unspecified locations, with no geographic restrictions detailed in the solicitation. While no set-aside provisions are indicated, the opportunity is structured to support organizations experienced in environmental education and communication, with an emphasis on measurable outcomes and broad community impact. Proposals must demonstrate a clear strategy for reaching diverse audiences and delivering consistent, science-based messaging through multiple channels.
