NSF intends to award this requirement as a sole source contract to NAS. The services sought are those necessary to meet the requirements stated in Section 10405 of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Specifically, NSF will enter into an agreement with the National Academies whereby the Academies will conduct an evaluation of ethical, legal, environmental, safety, security, and other appropriate societal issues related to engineering biology research and development, and to make recommendations on research needs and best means for incorporating consideration of these issues in the development and conduct of research. A Request for Information has not been published via SAM.gov as the legislative mandate precludes such action. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is Title 41 U.S.C. 3304(a) (1), Use of Noncompetitive procedures, as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 -- Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
