Specifications include, but are not limited to: identify a professional consultant, business or organization with experience managing a program with a complex and diverse set of tasks. It is preferred that this professional has previous experience with trade, either domestic or international. We anticipate the work of this RFP could best be done by an individual rather than a team of disparate subject matter experts. The work of the successful bidder will be full-time, 40 hours per week over each contract period. Coordinate resources, programs, services, and partnerships key to developing and managing the Domestic Trade Pilot Program at DECD. The program consultant will work closely with the OBD and other pilot project partners as designated by DECD. Such partners are expected to include, among others, an outreach & marketing firm, a trade data & market analysis firm, and a firm that will administer the domestic trade competitive grant program. This will also include overseeing tasks that may be performed by entities within State government or closely connected to State government, such as InforME (e.g., webpage updates).
