R -- Internal Grant control Audit

The Bureau of the Public Debt, acting on behalf of the National Science Foundation (NSF), plans to issue a solicitation for a performance audit focused on the Academy of Natural Sciences, an NSF grant recipient. This audit aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the institution’s internal controls related to financial compliance and reporting. Key objectives include verifying that financial transactions are accurately recorded and accounted for, ensuring compliance with NSF award terms and conditions, and safeguarding funds and assets from unauthorized use or loss. The contract falls under NAICS code 541211 with a size standard of $6 million and is designated as a 100% set-aside for eligible small business concerns. Interested parties are encouraged to register on the FedBizOpps website to receive updates and notifications regarding solicitation amendments. Because the General Services Administration’s notification service does not guarantee receipt by all registrants, potential offerors should actively monitor the site for pertinent information. For those unable to access the Internet, solicitation documents and amendments can be requested via fax or email. The contract, identified by solicitation number TPD-NSF-07-CI-0001, is currently in the presolicitation phase and seeks qualified small business offerors to perform a comprehensive internal grant control audit for the NSF awardee.
