About this opportunity

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships is seeking information from potential sources of program evaluation services for its Regional Innovation Engines program (NSF Engines). The evaluation will assess the impact of the program and the extent to which it is achieving its intended goals through a mixed-methods approach. NSF is interested in organizations with experience conducting program evaluations focused on place-based innovations, regional economic development, and providing subject matter experts to support federal clients. Responses should address the required capabilities and are due by 10:00 AM EDT on July 17, 2024. NSF will use the responses to inform decisions on setting aside the requirement for small businesses and/or leveraging existing government-wide contract vehicles.

This is an unrestricted procurement, meaning there is no set-aside designation. The initial one-year base period for the evaluation contract may be extended for up to four additional one-year option periods. The total value or budget range for this requirement is not specified in the pre-solicitation notice. The notice does not mention any potential incumbents or current contractors.
