Hi NSF L2 managers,

In talking with the NSF, we need to resolve a “bookkeeping” issue (my view)regarding what NSF calls the “Contingency Balance” [if you diligently read the NSF monthly report you will find that in Table 5 😉] . You will see that in January it turned negative (~-$1.7M), which at this time NSF does not like to see, they want that number to be positive. We need to provide them with the expected use of contingency beyond what we reported in January (through BCP-1102, not including 1101). So I need from you:

Your best estimate for BCPs that would be submitted through June 2025 – if possible please indicate a date by which you would submit the BCP. If some can be delayed beyond that date, please do that as I would like to keep the number smaller as it will be easier for NSF to swallow
Please include (a) estimated $ amount (your best guess), (b) what WBS #, (c) one line description
Due COB March 6 – the sooner we get this in the better given the looming Continuing Resolution deadline of March 14

Thanks, Mike
