Description

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to enter into a sole-source contract with the National Academies of Sciences (NAS) of Washington, DC, on behalf of their Board on International Scientific Organizations under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) -- Only one responsible source. This requirement is to provide core support for the operations of the U.S. National Committee on CODATA and for annual dues to CODATA. This procurement requires the expertise of an unbiased and independent research organization with multidisciplinary membership. NAS is uniquely qualified to perform this requirement based on its pre-eminent position in the scientific world, which enables it to call on the advice of the top scientists and engineers from U.S. universities, government and industry. In addition, NAS operates hundreds of committees and boards, many of which deal with matters of concern to NIST. Interested parties may identify their interest and capabilities by the above response date. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This is not a request for proposals. See Notes 22 and 26.
