About this opportunity
The State of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Fish and Wildlife Division intends to establish a single-source agreement with Outdoor News Network for media and news services to communicate chronic wasting disease (CWD) information to deer hunters statewide, with objections due by October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time.
The scope is media outreach targeting Minnesota hunting audiences through Outdoor News Network's integrated platform suite: print advertising in their newspaper, email to hunting subscribers, social media posts to hunting followers, and radio and podcast platforms. The messaging focuses on CWD-related regulations, sampling procedures, and carcass movement restrictions. The state has designated this as single-source because Outdoor News Network's platforms reach hunting audiences exclusively and provide the capability to target hunters across Minnesota with CWD-specific content.
Interested parties with concerns regarding the single-source justification must contact Jeeneng Vang at jeeneng.vang@state.mn.us before October 19, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, including the posting reference number and title in the subject line. The full solicitation documentation is available through the State of Minnesota Supplier Portal.
