Career Virtual Reality Experience for Educational Classroom Programs Services

The agency is seeking a vendor to design, develop, and deploy an immersive virtual reality educational experience focused on manatee care and conservation careers. This project aims to solve the logistical and safety barriers that prevent students from participating in in-person shadowing. The virtual reality solution must provide equitable access to behind-the-scenes animal care environments and support career exploration in veterinary science, conservation, sustainability, and animal care. The scope of work requires a complete, end-to-end virtual reality solution suitable for classroom environments and facilitated by educators. The experience must reinforce the importance of excellent animal wellbeing as a foundational value in all aspects of animal care and conservation work. Performance of the work will take place offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore United States organizations only. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 29, 2026. Responses can be submitted digitally via email or online, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget.
