Federal Advocacy and Public Affairs Services

The City of Prescott, Arizona, seeks a USA-based organization to deliver offsite federal advocacy and public affairs services over a three-year contract period. The selected vendor must assist the City in identifying annual federal priorities and create a comprehensive Federal Advocacy Strategy aligned with City Council priorities. Key duties require analyzing policy changes, executive orders, regulatory actions, and emerging funding streams to provide early warnings of potential impacts. The vendor must actively identify federal funding opportunities, coordinate strategies across City departments, help draft or review grant applications, manage support letters, and debrief on unsuccessful submittals. Additional responsibilities include building relationships with Arizona's Congressional delegation and staff, facilitating regular meetings, providing frequent activity reports, and delivering an annual presentation to the City Council. The buyer requests proposal submissions to determine the budget and provides no explicit evaluation criteria.
