Arctic Exchange Program Service

The issuing government authority located in Washington, DC, is seeking a vendor to provide an Arctic Exchange Program service. The agency needs to establish a clear and transparent process for reviewing project applicants, which includes conducting virtual or in-person English language interviews for semi-finalists as part of the selection process. To support program goals, the selected partner must design, launch, and manage three customized exchange activities. The scope of work requires the development of a mobile or web-based platform to help participants prepare for their exchange by providing information on program requirements, travel, health benefits, housing, and leadership development. The agency also requires the vendor to arrange and cover all program-related travel costs, including transportation, lodging, meals, and incidental expenses. Additionally, the provider must assess project activities and their impact, as well as develop and implement strategies to maintain alumni engagement through a dedicated communication and collaboration platform. Only organizations based onshore in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. All performance of the contract work will take place offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and the source document does not specify further evaluation criteria or key dates.
