Purchase Order HSCGG810PPCV061

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $20,000 purchase order to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) on June 23, 2010, for 2010 membership renewal in the Federal Facilities Council. The contract, which was completed on July 23, 2010, was not issued under any set-aside designation. As a congressionally chartered nonprofit organization, NAS serves as the premier scientific advisory body to the federal government and operates through the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to provide independent scientific and technical expertise across multiple federal agencies and policy domains.

This membership renewal represents a modest investment in NAS's core advisory infrastructure, enabling continued participation in the Federal Facilities Council's activities. The National Academies maintains extensive relationships across the federal government, including major indefinite delivery contracts valued in tens of millions of dollars with agencies such as the National Institute of Mental Health ($67.6M), Social Security Administration ($23.1M), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ($39.0M), and the Department of Homeland Security ($8.9M), among others. Through these vehicles and individual contract awards, NAS delivers consensus studies, expert panel convening, technical assessments, and specialized advisory services addressing critical scientific and policy challenges.
