About this award
CP Marine, LLC, an 8(a) certified small disadvantaged business and subsidiary of Alaskan Native Corporation Goldbelt, Incorporated, received a $3.08M firm fixed-price delivery order from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs under an 8(a) sole source set-aside. Awarded on July 19, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of July 18, 2026, the contract supports public affairs operations in Kyiv. The work involves identifying, training, and engaging 25 to 40 social media influencers to produce authentic content aligned with U.S. foreign policy objectives and embassy mission goals, with a particular focus on countering Russian disinformation narratives. The contract has been marked for termination for convenience and closeout.
CP Marine subcontracted the core influencer engagement work to two vendors: Zinc Network LIMITED, an international communications agency with extensive experience in U.S. government public diplomacy and counter-disinformation campaigns, and Peregrine Technical Solutions, LLC, an 8(a)-certified Alaskan Native Corporation-owned firm also owned by Goldbelt. Both subcontractors bring relevant expertise—Zinc Network has delivered messaging and communications services across multiple State Department and USAID initiatives, while Peregrine provides professional and technical services across federal agencies. This award reflects the State Department's broader information integrity and counter-disinformation efforts in the European region.
