TASK ORDER 1 - ARMY BOARD AND RPAC

The Department of the Army procured Task Order 1 under contract W911NF18D0002 from the National Academy of Sciences for $6,888,304.51 to support the Army Board and Research Program Review and Analysis Committee (RPAC). The RPAC, overseen by the Army Science, Technology, and Research Studies (ASTARS) Board, conducts reviews of Army research programs across various centers including RDECs, ERDC, MRMC, ARI, and SMDTC, excluding PEOs, to provide formal advice, findings, conclusions, and recommendations, such as on In-house Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR). This ongoing analytical effort ensures evaluation of research activities without duplicating existing reviews, delivering program review reports within a year.
