About this file

Written by GovTribe AI · May 2, 2025

This document is an Amendment (A002) to a federal solicitation for developing evaluations and benchmarks for assessing chemical and biological capabilities of AI models. The amendment modifies a previous Request for Quotation (RFQ) by clarifying details about an uplift study focused on whether AI can enable "non-experts to perform expert-level tasks". Specifically, the amendment provides nuanced responses to Question 19, indicating that NIST is interested in studies involving semi-experts with relevant subject matter expertise, but not fully focused on existing experts developing known threats or high-resource actors creating novel threats.

The solicitation is issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the U.S. AI Safety Institute, with an anticipated award of multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) for a base period of one year and four optional one-year extensions. The procurement will use simplified acquisition procedures, has a NAICS code of 541690 with a small business size standard of $19.0 million, and will be competed on a full and open basis. Potential quoters must monitor SAM.gov for solicitation details and amendments, with communication directed to carol.wood@nist.gov. The government reserves the right to cancel the solicitation if required approvals under Executive Order 14222 are not obtained.
