The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), a non-profit organization, holds a $6.5 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract with the U.S. Department of State to administer and place scientific fellows across various bureaus. Under this IDIQ, AAAS has been awarded multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders to provide recruitment, selection, placement, operations, and administrative support for its First Year Fellows and Second Year Fellows programs. These fellowships embed subject matter experts within the Department of State to provide analytical support and inform policymaking in areas such as oceans, energy, and nonproliferation.
The delivery orders, which range from approximately $16,000 to $34,000, do not have any set-aside designations. They are primarily issued by civilian bureaus within the Department of State, including the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, and Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. The contracted services support the Department of State's objectives to leverage scientific expertise and enhance the role of science in informing U.S. foreign policy and international affairs.
