Educational Outreach for the Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks

The State of Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife & Parks, through the State Procurement Services Division, is requesting bids for educational outreach programs to be delivered by multiple contractors throughout Montana, with bids due October 29, 2026. The service rate is fixed at $25 per hour and cannot be exceeded.

The scope covers educational services, materials, testing, training, and professional facilitator services. Bidders must demonstrate specific qualifications through yes/no questions addressing willingness to travel, availability during the school year, reliable transportation, ability to follow curriculum, self-motivation, adaptability, and experience in education and group management. Prospective bidders must review and accept the Scope of Work, state terms and conditions, IFB general requirements, warranties language for services, and MOU documentation; verify nondiscrimination against firearm entities; confirm vendor registration with the Secretary of State; and review all Q&A board entries prior to submission.

Compensation is offered on a Net 30 payment term with zero percent interest. The solicitation structure indicates potential for multiple awards across different contractors throughout Montana, establishing a broader contractor network for educational outreach delivery. Bidders requesting exceptions to standard terms and conditions must submit such requests by the Q&A deadline. The state reserves the right to negotiate final contract terms with awarded vendors. Questions and exceptions are due by the same Q&A deadline, which the source does not specify by date.
