The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) is seeking qualified consultants or professionals with experience in clean transportation, maritime decarbonization, aviation decarbonization, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement to serve as a technical consultant and project manager for the Maritime and Aviation Decarbonization Sector Mapping Initiative.
The Initiative aims to assist MassCEC and the Commonwealth in determining actionable, near-term recommendations for aviation and maritime decarbonization, focusing on opportunities within the state's jurisdiction. The recommendations should include both short-term (1 month to 1 year) and medium-term (1 to 5 years) actions, creating pathways to spur initial decarbonization work that can inform longer-term strategies.
The Technical Consultant will be responsible for: (1) ongoing management and reporting; (2) developing baseline sector mapping by identifying key stakeholders, existing decarbonization technologies, supporting infrastructure, and relevant policy/regulatory measures; (3) conducting robust stakeholder engagement with industry entities to understand market needs, opportunities, and potential barriers; and (4) developing recommendations to identify near-term (0 to 5 years) next steps for MassCEC and other Massachusetts state agencies to address decarbonization barriers.
Key dates include: RFP Release on March 18, 2026; Webinar on March 26, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST; Questions due April 8, 2026; Q&A answers posted April 15, 2026; Proposals due May 1, 2026; Interviews scheduled for mid-May 2026; Award notification expected early June 2026.
