Description
The National Science Foundation (NSF) intends to issue a simplified acquisitions purchase order to procure the services of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities on a sole source basis to conduct an original analysis and feasibility assessment for the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (National Science Foundation) of new/improved metrics for gauging the contributions of public academic institutions to their regional economies. As a major national representative of public academic institutions, APLU has unique access to the senior leaders and managers of these institutions, whose informed input is essential in identifying relevant indicators and considering data collection issues. The work envisioned in this contract would directly extend a line of inquiry and analytical results in earlier phases of APLU work on this topic. This included, notably, APLU's Commission on Innovation, Competitiveness, and Economic Prosperity (CICEP; established 2009 and continuing), and APLU's New Metrics Projects, which has progressed through several phases since its start in early 2010 and yielded original results. APLU can bring senior staff to the conduct of this contract who were extensively involved in the planning and execution of these previous CICEP and New Metrics efforts. This substantial knowledge of the topic and experience in the prior phases represent significant assets in the conduct of further work on the topic. NCSES/NSF has provided support to APLU on earlier phases of the New Metrics work. These earlier projects were successfully completed by APLU and yielded useful, original findings. The period of performance is date of award through one year. The proposed contract action is for services for which the government intends to sponsor with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b). This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. This synopsis is for information purposes only.
