- Description
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS), intends to award a sole source contract to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to provide a workshop on the effect of food deserts on health and the potential promising interventions. The workshop will focus on the health effects on local populations (including both adults and children) of limited access to affordable and nutritious foods. It will also focus on the particular challenges of communities that experience inequalities/disparities in health and physical environments. In accordance with Executive Order 12832, ARS has determined that NAS, because of its unique qualifications, is the only source that can provide the measure of expertise, independence, objectivity, and audience acceptance necessary to meet USDA’s needs. NAS has a unique capacity to martial scientific experience of the highest caliber in order to provide independent and objective science policy advice. This is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties should identify their interest and capability to respond by 3:00 PM EDT on September 18, 2008. This contract has an estimated value range of $200,000.00 to $300,000.00. The performance period is 29 September 2008 through 31 May 2009.
