The National Institute of Standards and Technology Community Resilience Support Services IDV was awarded on July 23, 2019 to Applied Research Associates, Inc. to a potential value of $9.7 million. The IDV enables NIST to issue multiple firm-fixed price delivery orders for technical services supporting community resilience programs. Delivery orders issued to date involve data collection, analysis, and documentation to inform NIST's assessment methodology and guidance for strengthening disaster resilience. Work locations include Florida, North Carolina, New Mexico, Maryland, and Alabama. Delivery orders range in value from approximately $120,000 to $485,000 and involve physical data compilation, statistical modeling, documentation support, and dissemination activities. Services aim to advance NIST's applied research and standards development to improve structural safety and infrastructure resilience nationwide. No set-asides were applied to the IDV or subsequent delivery orders.
The IDV and associated delivery orders facilitate Applied Research Associates' provision of technical expertise for NIST's engineering laboratory programs. Tasks include invasive testing, wind analysis, and data services in support of investigations into building failures. Additional delivery orders provide documentation and dissemination support to inform NIST's community resilience assessment methodology and guidance. Work locations and periods of performance vary by delivery order but collectively extend through 2024. The IDV structure enables NIST to efficiently obtain specialized technical assistance from a pre-qualified provider for resilient infrastructure and disaster response initiatives.
