Proposed Project: The Federal 

Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Subpart 

15.2—‘‘Solicitation and Receipt of

of 1950, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 1870,

(c) Enter into contracts or other 

arrangements, or modifications thereof, 

for the carrying on, by organizations or 

individuals in the United States and 

foreign countries, including other 

government agencies of the United 

States and of foreign countries, of such 

scientific or engineering activities as the 

Foundation deems necessary to carry 

out the purposes of this Act, and, at the 

request of the Secretary of Defense, 

specific scientific or engineering 

activities in connection with matters 

relating to international cooperation or 

national security, and, when deemed 

appropriate by the Foundation, such 

contracts or other arrangements or 

modifications thereof, may be entered 

into without legal consideration, 

without performance or other bonds and 

without regard to section 5 of title 41, 

U.S.C. 

Use of the Information: Request for 

Proposals (RFP) is used to competitively 

solicit proposals in response to NSF 

need for services. Impact will be on 

those individuals or organizations who 

elect to submit proposals in response to 

the RFP. Information gathered will be 

evaluated in light of NSF procurement 

requirements to determine who will be 

awarded a contract. 

Estimate of Burden: The Foundation 

estimates that, on average, 558 hours per 

respondent will be required to complete 

the RFP. 

Respondents: Individuals; business or 

other for-profit; not-for-profit 

institutions; Federal government; state, 

local, or tribal governments. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 75.
