Recent awards, Contract Opportunity Webinar, and a new partnership with HBCU

We hope you had a joyful holiday season - we're excited to be back. We've got a few exciting announcements and opportunities of interest for you.

First, we saw a few contract awards in December - here is a sampling of the larger, competitive contract awards:

• Aptive Resources won a $15M BPA at the National Science Foundation to provide program support services, meeting facilitation and communications strategies for its Convergence Accelerators Program

• Aptive Resources won a $19.25M BPA at the Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability for strategic communications, public outreach, and other support functions aimed at modernizing the nation's electric grid and enhancing its security and resilience from disruptions.

• Bixal Solutions won a BPA at the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide media, graphic, editorial, digital and other communications support services valued at $13.5M.

• BLN24 won a $2M contract at the Census Bureau to provide advisory and technical assistance for the Census Bureau's Advertising and Communications division.

On January 16th, GrowthLab principal Tommy will be teaching a class to the Bowie Innovation Center / Bowie State University Government Contracting Center of Excellence on the SBA Mentor Protege Program. It's free to register.

On January 18th, we'll be hosting a free webinar on a very near-term, upcoming contract opportunity at NIH. Specifically, the Communications and Outreach contract held by Palladian Partners at the National Institute of Minority Health Disparities (NIMHD). Please register here for this free event. At the session, we'll review NIMHDs objectives, the incumbent profile, and historical campaign work on this contract.

Soon, we'll be announcing a few informational sessions on OASIS+, top awardees from 2023, and more. Looking forward to having you attend.
