- Description
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b) (1), with Institute for Defense Analyses., for Lab to Market Studies for Artificial intelligence and Nanotechnology. ***** Sole Source determination is based on the need to procure Lab to Market Studies in Artificial Intelligence and nanotechnology needed by NIST.� This study is built on previous Institute for Defense Analyses (aka STPI) STPI work, including broad assessments of the federal technology transfer landscape as well as agency-specific analyses in assessing the development of other scientific areas through early investments in federal R&D and the subsequent research and technology transfer activities. The information developed for these, and other, will come as a result of STPI's access to government information. Private companies, which necessarily have vested interests as the recipients of and partners in the development of federally-funded technologies, may benefit unfairly from access to such information or steer recommendations in an undue direction. As an FFRDC, STPI has no stake in such information or biases in the outcome. STPI is the FFRDC supporting the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the coordination of the National Science and Technology Council's committees and subcommittees. As such, STPI is already providing support to Lab-to-Market through assisting with the Lab-to-Market subcommittee, which will be providing oversight for the study and implementing any recommendations resulting from the analysis. The nature of the work is intended to guide internal government decisions related to improving technology transfer and commercialization of federally-funded research and development. STPI, as an FFRDC, is inherently aligned with such work. Institute for Defense Analyses is the only known vendor capable in providing the required study. *****The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 541715 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, with a size standard of 1,000 Employees. ****** A determination by the Government whether to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.� Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. *****Interested parties that believe they could satisfy the requirements listed above for NIST may clearly and unambiguously identify their capability to do so in writing on or before the response date for this notice. This notice of intent is not a solicitation.� Any questions regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via email to Prateema Carvajal at prateema.carvajal@nist.gov.� All responses to this notice of intent must be submitted so that they are received at Prateema.carvajal@nist.gov no later August 15, 2021 at 8:00 AM Eastern Time.
