Climate Resilience Regional Challenge (CRRC) Fellowship Program

The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration seeks capabilities statements from small businesses to administer its Climate Resilience Regional Challenge Fellowship Program. Interested parties must demonstrate the ability to pay fellows $42,000 annually plus benefits while stationed across the U.S., as well as provide professional development training, career counseling, and recruit fellows through a network of at least 20 universities. Capabilities statements not exceeding 10 pages are due by January 8, 2024 and will be evaluated based on company information, size standard compliance under the applicable NAICS code, and evidence of the requested capabilities.

There is no set-aside designated for this procurement. The solicitation number is CRRCFELLOWSFY24, and respondents must showcase relevance to NAICS code 611430. The resultant firm-fixed price contract would administer the fellowship program through 2029, paying fellows and providing career services while supporting placement with grant recipients and marketing through university partnerships.
