The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) New York requires a contractor to conduct research on sustainability initiatives within the U.S. beef cattle, dairy, pork, broiler, and egg industries, and to attend relevant U.S. industry meetings. The selected vendor will analyze sustainability challenges, greenhouse gas emissions, water conservation, emissions, farm-level best practices, and government policies, compiling the findings in Japanese to update specified reports. Performance takes place offsite, with required biweekly online progress meetings with JETRO and final reports due no later than January 8, 2027. Eligibility is restricted to onshore USA organizations that possess similar past experience performing work comparable to this project. Applicants must propose a feasible schedule, include all travel and operational costs in the contract price, and comply with strict information security, copyright, and confidentiality standards. Vendors can submit proposals digitally via email or online, though specific application deadlines, submission instructions, and evaluation criteria are not provided in the text.
