Lobbyist Services

The government authority located in Massachusetts requires a USA-based vendor to provide offsite lobbyist services. The selected vendor must offer strategic advice on federal policy developments affecting higher education and sponsored research, assist the university in evaluating its research and economic strengths, and identify funding, appropriations, and partnership opportunities. Additionally, the vendor must monitor federal budget activity, agency planning initiatives, and policy proposals to deliver strategic recommendations to university leadership. Only onshore USA organizations are eligible to apply. Applicants must submit their proposals digitally via email or online, and they must submit all questions no later than October 16, 2026. The buyer is currently seeking proposals to determine the budget, but the text does not state the evaluation criteria or the contract term.
