Economic Impact Analysis Service

The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife needs a vendor to provide an economic impact analysis of hunting, fishing, and wildlife watching. The required scope includes estimating equipment and auxiliary sales, food, lodging, trip costs, jobs, resident income, gross domestic product, and taxes generated by these activities, as well as resident expenditures for out-of-state trips. Only USA organizations performing work offsite are eligible to bid, and bidders must register with the Vermont Secretary of State’s office prior to contract execution. Bidders must submit proposals electronically via VTBuys by October 16, 2026, at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. The buyer evaluates proposals using a 100-point scale based on overall experience and qualifications (50 points), ability to provide services within the defined timeline (25 points), overall cost (20 points), and environmental considerations (5 points). The anticipated contract term is 18 months starting December 1, 2026, with an option to renew, and the budget relies on submitted vendor pricing.
