About this IDV
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established a Basic Ordering Agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute on August 18, 2025, to develop evaluations and benchmarks for assessing chemical and biological capabilities of artificial intelligence models. The BOA sets framework terms for NIST to issue task orders but obligates no funds itself; the ceiling value is three million dollars with a performance period through August 17, 2027.
The scope encompasses developing question-answer sets for testing AI model capabilities, red-teaming models, conducting human uplift studies, implementing pre- and post-deployment evaluations, and developing new methodologies for assessing AI models' chemical and biological assessment capabilities. Work is performed at Battelle locations in support of NIST requirements.
The BOA originated from NIST's October 2024 market research seeking contractors with expertise and prior experience executing chemical and biological assessments of AI systems, with technical staff possessing three to five years of relevant field experience. NAICS code 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) applies to this procurement, which was open to all business sizes.
