Tender Details

*****CAREFULLY REVIEW ENTIRE ATTACHED RFP*****
The U.S. Maritime Administration is commissioning a targeted cost analysis of the International Maritime Organization-s (IMO) “Net Zero Framework” (NZF), adopted in April 2025, that centers on the NZF-s specific policy mechanisms and their economic consequences for the United States. The study should examine, at minimum, the NZF-s:
(a) global GHG pricing/levy proposals (including scope, price trajectory, and pass-through mechanisms).
(b) emissions trading and crediting systems.
(c) use and role of carbon offsets and related crediting rules.
(d) fuel/energy standard or fuel blending mandates.
(e) technology mandates, exemptions, and phase in schedules.
(f) monitoring, reporting, and verification, auditing and compliance regimes.

(h) enforcement, penalties, and potential border or trade adjustment measures.

(4) create administrative and compliance burdens; and
(5) risk leakage, double counting, or ineffective mitigation (for example, reliance on offsets that do not deliver measurable reductions).
The study should quantify impacts where feasible, identify key assumptions and uncertainties for each mechanism, and analyze distributional effects across U.S. industries, ports, and regions.
The contractor should compare outcomes under: (A) the NZF as proposed (mechanism by mechanism); (B) alternative designs that limit or reshape levy/offset components; and (C) delayed or phased implementation scenarios. For each mechanism, the study must re...
