About this IDV
NIST established a Multiple Award Basic Ordering Agreement with Securebio Inc. on August 18, 2025, for development of evaluations and benchmarks assessing the chemical and biological capabilities of artificial intelligence models. This BOA sets framework terms under which future delivery orders may be placed; it does not obligate funds itself. The BOA carries a ceiling value of $3 million and extends through August 17, 2027, inclusive of one exercised option period.
The scope encompasses development of question-answer sets for testing AI models' relevant capabilities, red-teaming of models, human uplift studies, pre- and post-deployment evaluations, and new methodologies for assessing chemical and biological capabilities. Performance occurs in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The BOA originated in market research conducted by NIST in late 2024 (NAICS 541690, Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services).
Under this BOA, NIST awarded a delivery order to Securebio Inc. on October 23, 2025, for dual-use biology benchmark design and validation development support services. The delivery order, designated OU00-25-NEW-054, carries a ceiling of $331.8 thousand and completes June 22, 2026, under firm fixed-price terms.
