This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Orlando, Florida. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The objective of this Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) is to enable the University of Central Florida (UCF) to enter into an agreement with a Supplier to provide comprehensive Public Relations (PR) and Project Management (PM) services in support of the Restore Lagoon Inflow Research project. This three-year, state-funded initiative involves the design, construction, operation, and removal of a temporary ocean-water recirculation system to study the ecological, geochemical, hydrodynamic, and biological responses within the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). The project encompasses multiple scientific domains and requires a communications and coordination partner with exceptional capability in supporting complex, interdisciplinary, and highly visible academic research. Given the scientific complexity, public interest, and regulatory oversight of this project, UCF requires a Supplier with the ability to translate technical research findings into accessible, accurate, and timely communication products for policymakers, journalists, agency partners, scientific communities, and Florida residents. The Supplier must also coordinate closely with the interdisciplinary scientific team to ensure communication materials remain synchronized with scientific activities, fieldwork milestones, and state reporting timelines.
