THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
NWSA is entering an interlocal agreement with Tacoma Public Schools District No. 10 to fund the Maritime 253 maritime jobs program. The Alliance will provide $50,000 per year from 2026 through 2030 for student fieldwork, equipment, uniforms, safety gear, and extracurricular maritime training. While this core funding path is set, Maritime 253 will need vendors for training content, PPE, field trip logistics, and program evaluation as it scales over the next five years.
Draft ILA has been signed by Tacoma Public Schools; NWSA funding is from operating income and includes unbudgeted 2026 expense.

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.
When will The Northwest Seaport Alliance issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks The Northwest Seaport Alliance'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 The Northwest Seaport Alliance 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.
