About this opportunity

The National Science Foundation Division of Acquisition and Cooperative Support issued a Limited Source Justification on March 2, 2026, for a sole source award to ICF Incorporated to provide continuation of communications and outreach support services to the Technology, Innovation, and Partnership Directorate. The justification, based on FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(A), cites an urgent and compelling need to avoid service disruption and unacceptable delays in solicitations, award processes, and stakeholder engagement while a competitive re-compete is underway and not expected to be awarded until July 2026. The awarded task order (49100426F0026) carries an estimated value of $259,869.00 for a six-month base period and will support approximately $600 million in funding opportunities, including NSF Engines and SBIR programs, encompassing solicitation outreach, pre-award and post-award management, program portfolio support, and community stakeholder engagement. ICF Incorporated was selected as the only contractor with the technical capability to ensure continuity without service disruption, as the current task order expires on February 27, 2026, and cannot be extended. Price reasonableness will be verified through comparison to historical pricing data and an Independent Government Cost Estimate, with labor rates aligned to ICF's existing GSA contract.
