About this opportunity
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to award a contract to the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Sciences will coordinate a workshop for approximately $245,000 to discuss rare event prediction methods and identify applicable forecasting techniques over a one-year period of performance. The sole source justification was deemed appropriate as the National Academy of Sciences has expertise in coordinating such workshops and can provide impartial results to both the agency and Congress. A follow-on contract for unknown values was previously awarded to an unknown vendor on December 10, 2020 to address these forecasting needs.
Notice text
DTRA RD-CXQ has a need to improve threat forecasting, specifically, for rare events with very high consequences. The costs of adequate preparation for such events are high, as are the costs of insufficient preparedness. It is imperative to improve the identification and development of forecasting methods due to the limited financial resources available to the organization.
NAS will be tasked with coordinating a workshop, comprising of academic and private sector participants, to discuss rare event prediction methods, techniques, and best practices. The goal is to identify other applicable forecasting methods used in other fields of science, engineering, and medicine that will support RD-CXQ’s mission and the improvement of its developed products. The period of performance is a one-year effort from date of award. The estimated cost is $245,000.00 and is for new work.
Awarded contract HDTRA121P0013 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2020-12-10.
