Description

AI Generated

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or a related government authority, is seeking a vendor to administer an education and training mini-grant program. The agency needs to distribute grants and cooperative agreements that will increase sustainability, education, and training on marine resource issues in Alaska. This program aims to solve the problem of limited educational and professional development opportunities in marine-related fields within Alaskan communities. The scope of work covers preparing communities for employment in marine-related professions and increasing the sustainability of fishing practices through technological improvements. The selected vendor must also focus on increasing seafood and fishing safety, seafood marketing, and marine management. All performance of the contract work will take place offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit. The source document does not contain evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
