4)(i) Description - The following requirement is intended to be awarded to First WA Robotics Team as a sole-source procurement for fulfillment: Advertisement Mix, First WA Robotics Team – League Sponsorship Level – Full Season (4)(vii) FIRST Washington is the only practicable source for this partnership because the required services depend on official, statewide access to Washington’s FIRST robotics ecosystem, including FIRST LEGO League, FIRST Tech Challenge, and FIRST Robotics Competition teams, events, mentors, volunteers, and program infrastructure.

FIRST Washington runs all aspects of FIRST programs within Washington State and the Pacific Northwest FRC District, and maintains the specialized event, field, volunteer, school, and team infrastructure necessary to engage students statewide.

Direct sponsorship is the only way to accomplish this requirement and any other source would be an unnecessary third party.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
