The National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a non-profit organization, has been awarded an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to provide expert coordination, scientific, and technical advisory services. The base IDC has a ceiling value of $4,768,466 and a period of performance through September 2026. Under this IDC, GAO has issued several firm-fixed price delivery orders for NAS to convene expert meetings and provide specialized subject matter expertise to support GAO's oversight and accountability missions. The delivery orders, ranging from $20,000 to over $100,000, cover a variety of policy areas such as pandemic response, energy technologies, environmental modeling, and federal statistical programs. The work is primarily performed in Washington, D.C. and does not utilize any set-aside designations. As an independent, nonpartisan advisory body, NAS leverages its extensive network of subject matter experts to assist federal agencies like GAO in informing public policy decisions through data-driven analysis and consensus-based recommendations.
