THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Big Sky EDA/EDC and Yellowstone County entities are renewing a Memorandum of Understanding with Beartooth RC&D to participate in the federally designated Economic Development District. The MOU commits local match funding of $37,100.77 to unlock about $70,000 in U.S. EDA funds for an Economic Development Director and CEDS-driven regional projects through 2026. This sets up ongoing needs for planning support, grant writing, and project implementation across multiple counties and cities.
Big Sky EDA pays 34% of the local match ($12,614.26), with Billings, Laurel, and Yellowstone County covering the remainder. Services focus on projects tied to job creation, diversification, and tax base growth in a five‑county region.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Big Sky Economic Authority's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Big Sky Economic Authority before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
