# Maine Proposes UMS Education Funding

In a February 11, 2019 release, Governor Mills outlined the State of Maine’s FY 2020–21 budget proposal to support University of Maine System priorities: adult workforce training, early-college access, high-school career exploration, and employer-engaged workforce initiatives. The signal identifies no solicitation, contract value, award, or procurement contact, so it points to proposed funding priorities rather than an active procurement opportunity.

- Education and workforce-development contractors can use these priorities as historical context for the state’s areas of interest, but the signal does not establish available funding or a current opportunity.
- The proposal’s implementation depended on legislative budget decisions; the release provides no procurement timetable or current follow-on action.
- Businesses should not treat this announcement as an open solicitation. No specific bid or registration action is identified in the source.
