NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE: This is a notice of intent to award a sole source contract. Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). Contracting Officers may solicit from one source if it is determined only one source is reasonably available to satisfy agency requirements, as supplemented with additional information in this notice.

The goals of the biotechnology crosscut analyses process are to (1) determine total and categorized expenditure of biotechnology projects across NIFA funded projects and (2) use the expenditures of biotechnology research to determine BRAG program budget for the next fiscal year. This biotechnology crosscut analysis will (1) develop a report detailing the process of the biotechnology crosscut analyses – a data management plan outlining a tentative schedule to ensure the deliverables will be submitted on time.

Determine major changes in crosscut categories in comparison to previous years crosscuts. (2) Create at least three electronic spreadsheets outlining the percentage of projects with the specified components described in the PWS. (3) Provide yearly annual reporting that summarizes the activities conducted for the year. The report should include a description of the significant outcomes and successes over the past year.
