The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Budget, Finance and Award Management has awarded a series of firm fixed price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call contracts to Mcbride, Lock & Associates, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business and limited liability company. These contracts, valued at over $1.5 million in total, are issued under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle and support the NSF's need for accounting and audit services to conduct pre-award administrative and financial reviews of Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II proposals.
Mcbride, Lock & Associates will leverage its expertise in federal program audits and compliance to support the NSF's oversight responsibilities for the SBIR and STTR initiatives. The company will perform these professional auditing and accounting services at its offices in Kansas City, Missouri over the contracts' base periods, which range from one to three years. No set-aside designations were used for these awards, as the NSF sought to evaluate SBIR and STTR Phase II funding proposals through an open competition process.
