AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for the continuation of the Food and Nutrition Board Food Forum, with a one-year base period and four optional one-year extensions. The contract, classified under NAICS code 541720 for Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities, supports the Forum’s longstanding mission to facilitate open dialogue among government, industry, academia, and public interest groups on critical food safety, nutrition, and science communication issues. The FDA’s Human Foods Program has historically funded this initiative, which has addressed priority topics such as reducing sodium in foods, optimizing health through nutrition, managing food safety from farm to table, the impact of the human microbiome, and nutritional risk assessment methodologies. The Food Forum operates as a convening body designed to identify high-priority public health challenges, evaluate their root causes, and explore actionable solutions based on scientific evidence and stakeholder input. Meeting agendas are developed through deliberations among Forum members, who are selected for both their scientific expertise and professional perspectives, ensuring balanced and informed discussions. The Forum’s output informs policy, research priorities, and regulatory considerations by synthesizing diverse viewpoints and highlighting gaps where collaborative action is needed. This procurement is non-competitive under FAR 6.103-1 due to the unique, established role of the National Academies in hosting the Forum since 1993, and the absence of equivalent capabilities elsewhere. The opportunity was posted on June 5, 2026, with responses due by June 20, 2026, and primary point of contact is Kimberly Pennix of the FDA’s Office of Acquisition and Grant Services in Rockville, Maryland.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) intends to solicit a 1-year base with four (4) option periods, sole source (in accordance with FAR 6.103-1), firm-fixed-price purchase order from National Academies 500 Fifth Street, NW Washington, DC 20001. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541720- Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities, anticipated period of performance consists of a 1-year base purchase order with four (4) option periods.

This notice is not a request for competitive proposals.

The National Academies Food Forum was established in 1993 as a mechanism for diverse groups to discuss food, food safety, food technology, nutrition, and food science issues and to identify possible approaches for addressing these issues by taking into consideration the often-complex interactions among industry, academia, regulatory agencies and consumers. In the past, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Human Foods Program (HFP), formerly the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), provided funds to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) to support the Food Forum.

Examples of technical areas that the Food Forum attendees have been exploring in its discussions include:

Science communications for healthy diets
Global food supply chains
Microplastics from food and water: state of the science
The Human Microbiome, Diet, and Health
Reducing the rates of nutrition-related risk factors for chronic disease
Optimizing health through improved nutrition
Providing healthy and safe foods for older adults
Reducing sodium in foods
Managing food safety practices from farm to table
Nutrition standards for foods in schools
Applications and validation of biomarkers and surrogate endpoints
Nutritional risk assessment: methods and data challenges

The Food Forum provides a meeting ground at which representatives from government, industry, academia, and public interest groups can openly communicate about nutrition and food safety issues. Where applicable, members have been chosen for their professional perspective as well as their scientific credentials.

The Food Forum meetings are designed to identify high-priority problems and issues, improve understanding of their causes, and pursue possible approaches for resolving them. At the conclusion of a meeting, the Forum Project Director, in consultation with the Forum Chair and membership, prepares an agenda for the next meeting. In setting the agenda and priories for the Forum, the members consider criteria such as the magnitude of the public health problem, the extent of member interest in the issue, and the unique contribution the Forum can make relative to other activities being conducted by their public or private agencies. Final decisions for the agenda are based on the Food Forum deliberations and on the availability of Forum members and invited outside attendees.
