About this vehicle
The National Science Foundation's National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) established this master IDIQ on September 2, 2021, with an ordering deadline of September 1, 2026—approximately one month of ordering authority remaining. The vehicle carries a $35 million shared ceiling and funds technical and analytical support services across data analysis, data visualization, database management, survey development, statistical analysis, report production, communications support, and workshop organization tied to science and technology policy research.
Seventeen task orders totaling $28.4 million in combined potential value have been awarded under the vehicle, with $15.1 million obligated (53% of combined potential). Ordering velocity has been uneven: six orders in 2022, two in 2023, eight in 2024, and one in 2025. The most recent award came in February 2025. Recent task orders show firm fixed-price, labor-hour, and time-and-materials structures, with individual ceiling values ranging from $173,500 to $7.88 million. Recent completions extend into 2029.
Five firms hold all awarded task orders. Research Triangle Institute leads by potential value with four orders worth $14.6 million combined; National Opinion Research Center follows with six orders totaling $8.9 million. Sri International, American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences, and Westat together account for the remainder. All 17 orders are unrestricted (no set-aside designation), and the single customer agency is NCSES itself—this is a dedicated vehicle for that center's analytical support needs.
All work is performed for NSF NCSES, eliminating customer concentration risk but constraining growth potential to that agency's budget authority. With ordering authority expiring in September 2026 and modest recent order velocity, opportunities under this vehicle are limited to the final months before the deadline. New entrants would face an established prime base and a narrowing window for pursuing task orders.
