This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is for the Denali Commission's Strategic Planning Report, dated November 9, 2025, focusing on Alaska's strategic importance, Arctic challenges, and national security objectives. The document outlines a 12-month base contract with two 12-month option years for a geopolitical intelligence service to support strategic planning, with an anticipated firm-fixed-price award.

Key objectives include supporting the President's National Strategy for the Arctic, raising urgency around critical infrastructure and resilience, seeking Administration support for infrastructure and technological innovations, and facilitating collaboration between Native Alaskan communities, federal and state officials, and the military. The contractor will provide weekly strategic planning meetings, deliver seven detailed reports with graphics (15-25 pages each), and potentially attend up to two in-person meetings in Alaska and Washington, DC. The service will focus on emerging threats, technology innovation, energy security, transportation challenges, and the unique geopolitical dynamics of the Arctic region, with particular emphasis on addressing challenges posed by climate change and international tensions.
