About this award
The Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded a delivery order valued at $600,503.97 to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) on September 1, 2013, to conduct a study examining the rating value methodology for structures with negative elevation—specifically underground structures. This research was necessitated by the Biggert-Waters National Flood Insurance Program Reform Act of 2012, which required the federal government to reassess flood insurance rating approaches for properties that fall below standard elevation thresholds. The contract was structured as a cost-no-fee arrangement, reflecting NAS's nonprofit status, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2015. Work was performed in Washington, DC, and no small business set-aside designation was applied to this award.
This delivery order was issued under the National Academy of Sciences Support indefinite delivery vehicle, which enables FEMA and other federal agencies to efficiently procure specialized scientific advisory and technical expertise from NAS. The National Academies, operating through its divisions of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, leveraged its extensive network of subject matter experts to provide independent, objective analysis on this complex flood insurance policy challenge. The study directly supported FEMA's implementation of the 2012 NFIP reforms and contributed to the agency's broader mission of mitigating disaster risk and supporting the financial stability of the national flood insurance program.
