The Northeast Kingdom Conservation District Supervisory Union (NEK Supervisory Union) is seeking proposals from qualified organizations to assist the Union in developing and adopting administrative support capabilities that will provide mutual benefit to each district by, at a minimum: increasing communication across the districts; streamlining workflows; minimizing redundancies; and reducing overhead costs. The final product should define the purpose, structure, and operation of the NEK Supervisory Union to best serve its member Districts. The support structure chart provided below depicts how the Supervisory Unions and Conservation Districts fit into the overall Natural Resource Conservation Council (NRCC) structure. This structure consists of a total of six Supervisory Unions made up of the fourteen independent Conservation Districts. These Districts provide support to farmers, forest landowners, municipalities, and community partners in identifying and addressing natural resource concerns, i.e., issues that impair the sustainability or intended use of a resource, by organizing the implementation of locally led solutions. This support structure operates across the entire State of Vermont. This request for proposal focuses only on the NEK Supervisory Union.

Email proposal in a single PDF to Sam Mayne, Essex County Conservation District Manager (smayne.essexnrcd@gmail.com) by 5:00 pm, Monday, June 8, 2026.
