- Description
- The USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) intends to award on a sole source basis a contract to the National Academies' National Research Council (NRC) Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT), 500 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001 under the authority of FAR 6.302-5. The NRC, CNSTAT, was established to investigate, examine, or experiment upon any subject of science or art of significance to an executive agency and to report on those matters to the Congress or any agency of the Federal Government. CNSTAT has no institutional self interest in the outcome of its studies. It provides scientifically valid, impartial, and balanced advice and a neutral meeting ground for its committees. The NRC, CNSTAT has been identified as the only impartial source that can provide the measure of expertise, independence, objectivity, and audience acceptance necessary to deliver results that will help ERS in shaping the future direction of its research funds. The NRC through CNSTAT will convene a workshop under the auspices of the National Academies to convene a workshop to support USDA in the development of a research agenda to best use funds authorized by Public law 111-296, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA). The estimated cost of this effort is $350,000.00.
